Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The original sentence in the question "The groceries are delivered to the house by the shopkeeper every evening." is in the passive voice.
Transformation from Passive to Active Voice:
Subject-Object Swap: In the active voice, the performer of the action (the shopkeeper) becomes the subject, and the receiver (the groceries) becomes the direct object.
Verb Tense: The original sentence uses the present simple passive ("are delivered"). Therefore, the active voice must use the present simple active form (delivers).
Active voice: The shopkeeper delivers the groceries to the house every evening.
