Explanation
Conversion from passive to active voice:

This is in the Past Continuous Tense (Passive Form: was/were + being + past participle).
Correct Active Form: "The workers were thoroughly cleaning the dining hall."
To convert to active voice, the object "the workers" becomes the subject.
The structure for Past Continuous Active is: Subject + was/were + verb-ing + Object.
Active voice: The workers were thoroughly cleaning the dining hall.
