Change the following sentence into the Active form.
The renowned professor had been given a standing ovation by the students after her powerful lecture.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The original sentence, "The renowned professor had been given a standing ovation by the students after her powerful lecture," is in the past perfect passive voice. To convert it to the active voice, the subject performing the action ("the students") must come first, followed by the active verb tense ("had given"), and then the object receiving the action ("the renowned professor"). Option C correctly rearranges the sentence.
