Correct Answer: The crowd laughed at the poor fellow.


Solution : The correct choice is the fourth 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 is : "Singular subject + past form of the verb + prepositional phrase . "

Therefore, the correct answer is: The crowd laughed at the poor fellow.
