Choose the option that is the most appropriate conversion of the following sentence into Active Voice.
Guests are not permitted to enter the kitchen.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
Correct Answer: They do not permit guests to enter the kitchen.
Explanation
• The given sentence is in the passive voice in the simple present tense (are not permitted).
• Passive structure: Object + is/am/are + not + V3 + complement
• Active structure: Subject + do/does + not + V1 + object + complement
• Since the agent is omitted in the passive sentence, a generic subject like They is used in the active form.
• Using the plural subject They with the auxiliary verb do gives: They do not permit guests to enter the kitchen.
