Change the following sentence into the Active form.
The manuscript will have been translated by the time the expedition returns.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The original sentence is in the passive voice (future perfect tense: "will have been translated").
To change it to the active voice, the subject performing the action needs to be introduced.
Option (A) correctly identifies an appropriate agent ("They") and uses the correct active voice verb form for the future perfect tense ("will have translated"), while keeping the rest of the sentence structure and meaning intact.
