Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The original sentence, 'The renowned author's newest novel will have been released by the end of the year,' is in the passive voice (future perfect tense). The question asks for the 'passive voice transformation' of the sentence, which implies transforming it to the active voice, as the options provided are in the active voice.
The structure for the future perfect tense in the active voice is: Subject + will have + past participle + object + (time expression).
The subject of the active voice sentence is the agent of the action in the passive voice sentence, which is 'The renowned author'.
The verb phrase in the active voice should be 'will have released'.
The object of the active voice sentence is the subject of the passive voice sentence, which is 'his newest novel'.
The time expression 'by the end of the year' remains the same.
Therefore, the correct active voice sentence is 'The renowned author will have released his newest novel by the end of the year.'
