Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
Change from Passive to active voice:
Identify the Tense: The original sentence "was gently fed" is in the Passive Voice (Past Indefinite).
Subject-Object Swap: In active voice, the agent (the owner) becomes the subject, and the recipient (the hungry dog) becomes the object.
Verb Transformation: The passive verb "was fed" changes to its simple past active form, "fed."
Maintain Adverbs: The adverb "gently" must be retained to preserve the original meaning.
Active voice: The owner gently fed the hungry dog.
