Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
Passive Voice: "The poem was composed by the student during the literature class."
Active Voice Conversion: To change this to the active voice, the object of the preposition ("the student") becomes the subject, and the verb "was composed" (past tense) changes to its simple past active form, "composed."
Explanation:
Active voice:
The student composed the poem during the literature class.
Subject: The student (the one performing the action).
Verb: Composed (simple past tense, matching the original "was composed").
Object: The poem (the thing receiving the action).
Context: "during the literature class" remains as the adverbial phrase describing when the action occurred.
