Correct Answer: I read the newspaper.
Solution : The correct choice is the third option.
Active voice emphasises the doer of the action, while passive voice emphasises the receiver. To convert passive to active, we make the subject perform the action and rephrase the verb.
The structure of the active voice in the case of the simple present tense is: "Subject + base form of the verb + object."
Therefore, the correct sentence is: "I read the newspaper."
