Choose the option that is the most appropriate conversion of the following sentence into Active Voice.
This work needs to be finished today.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
Correct Answer: They need to finish this work today.
Explanation:
• The given sentence is in the passive voice containing a passive infinitive: needs + to be + past participle (finished).
• To convert it into the active voice, introduce a generic subject (like They) and change the passive infinitive (to be finished) into an active infinitive (to finish).
• The active voice structure is: Subject + need/needs + to + V1 (base form) + Object.
• Since the sentence is in the simple present tense and the introduced subject They is plural, it takes the plural verb need: They need to finish this work today.
