Choose the option that is the most appropriate conversion of the following sentence into Active Voice.

Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
Correct Answer: The team must have completed the report before the deadline.
Explanation
• The given sentence is in the passive voice with a modal perfect form: must have been + past participle (completed).
• To transform it into the active voice:
• The agent behind 'by' (the team) becomes the active subject.
• The verb changes from must have been + V3 to must have + V3 (must have completed).
• The passive subject (the report) becomes the direct object.
Quick Tip: In modal perfect constructions, passive must have been + V3 converts directly to active must have + V3 without changing the modal or tense.
