Change the following sentence into the Active form.
The famous painter was seen to be walking in the park.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The original sentence, "The famous painter was seen to be walking in the park," is in the passive voice because the subject ("The famous painter") is receiving the action ("was seen") rather than performing it. To change it to the active voice, we need to introduce a subject that performs the action of "seeing".
Option A introduces "Someone" as the subject who "saw" the painter, making the sentence active and retaining the original meaning.
