Choose the option that is the most appropriate conversion of the following sentence into Active Voice.
The mystery had never been solved by anyone before the detective arrived.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

To convert the passive sentence "The mystery had never been solved by anyone before the detective arrived" into the active voice, the subject performing the action ("anyone," changed to "No one" because of "never") must be placed before the verb. The verb tense must remain past perfect ("had solved") to match the original sentence's timeline.
