Change the following sentence into active voice:
The bill was passed in the parliament.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The highlighted sentence, "The parliament passed the bill," is the correct active voice version of "The bill was passed in the parliament.
Explanation:
Subject-Action Alignment: In the active voice, the subject (The parliament) performs the action (passed) upon the object (the bill).
Tense Consistency: The original passive sentence uses "was passed" (simple past), so the active version must use the simple past "passed."
Conciseness: It removes the redundant prepositional phrase "in the parliament" since the subject "parliament" already implies the location/entity involved.
