Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. She is giving a party on the occasion of her sixteenth birthday.
- In the active voice, the subject acts as the verb. The original passive sentence "A party is being given by her on the occasion of her sixteenth birthday" focuses on the action being done to the subject (the party), rather than who is acting.
- To convert it to active voice, we identify the subject acting ("her") and rephrase the sentence so that "she" is the one giving the party.
- This results in "She is giving a party on the occasion of her sixteenth birthday," where "She" is the subject actively acting as giving the party.
