Change the following sentence into the Active form.
The new law was passed by the parliament.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The original sentence, 'The new law was passed by the parliament,' is in the passive voice because the subject ('The new law') receives the action rather than performing it.
To convert this to the active voice, the doer of the action ('the parliament') must become the subject of the sentence, performing the action ('passed') on the receiver ('the new law'). Since the original sentence uses the past tense ('was passed'), the active form must also use the simple past tense ('passed').
Correct answer is The parliament passed the new law.
