Change the following sentence into the Active form.
The city council's decision is thought to be influenced by powerful lobbying groups.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The original sentence, "The city council's decision is thought to be influenced by powerful lobbying groups," is in the passive voice. The focus is on the action being done to the decision. To convert this into the active voice, the action needs to be attributed to a subject (in this case, "People") who is performing the action ("think"). Therefore, Option C correctly identifies "People" as the subject who believes this influence is happening, making the sentence active.
