Correct Answer: You did not make the painting.


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 past tense in a negative form is: "Subject + did + not + base form of the verb + object."

Therefore, the correct answer is: " You did not make the painting. "
