Correct Answer: Jack tore those four pages.


Solution : The correct choice is the second 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: "Subject + past form of the verb + plural object."

Therefore, the sentence in active voice is: "Jack tore those four pages."
