Choose the correct active voice form from the given options.
The laptop may not be bought by her.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
Correct Answer
She may not buy the laptop.
Explanation
Rule: When converting a sentence with a modal verb from passive to active voice, remove the auxiliary verb "be" and revert the past participle (V3) verb to its base form (V1), while keeping the core modal verb intact.
Formula: Passive: Object + may not + be + V3 + by + Subject
Active: Subject + may not + V1 + Object
Application: The passive construction "may not be bought" converts directly into the active construction "may not buy". Options 2, 3, and 4 are incorrect because they change the modal verb or shift the timeline into the past.
