Select the correct active form of the given sentence.
It is said that Einstein was a genius.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. People say that Einstein was a genius.
- The sentence "It is said that Einstein was a genius" is in the passive voice, where the focus is on the information rather than who is conveying it.
- To convert it to the active voice, we need to identify who is doing the saying. "People" is a general term that represents those who make the statement.
- Therefore, the active form "People say that Einstein was a genius" shifts the focus to the agents (people) acting, making the sentence clearer and more direct.
