Convert the sentence provided below from its passive voice structure to an active voice structure:
Being given instructions repeatedly made the worker anxious.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
Identify the Passive Part: The phrase "Being given instructions" is a passive gerund. It means the worker is receiving the action.
The Active Shift: To make this active, we change "Being given" to the active gerund "Giving."
Sentence Structure:
Passive: [Action being received] + made + [Person] + anxious.
Active: [The act of doing] + made + [Person] + anxious.
Result: "Giving repeated instructions made the worker anxious." (The act of giving is now the subject causing the anxiety).
