Select the correct active form of the given sentence.
I am vexed by her behaviour.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Her behaviour vexes me.
- The given sentence is in the passive voice and 'I' is the subject and 'her behaviour' is the object.
- When we convert this sentence into active voice, the subject 'I' of the passive voice becomes the object, and the object ''her behaviour" becomes the subject.
- Structure
- Subject + V1+s/es+ object. (active voice)
- Object+ is/am/are+ V3+ by + subject. (passive voice)
- The active voice restructures the sentence to emphasize what causes the vexation (her behaviour) and who is affected by it (me).
- It maintains clarity and straightforwardness in expressing the relationship between the subject and the action.
Therefore, "Her behaviour vexes me" correctly presents the same idea in active voice form.
