Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
Conversion from passive to active voice:
Identify the Tense: The original sentence is in the Passive Voice using the Simple Past tense ("were watered").
Active Voice Rule: To convert a Simple Past passive sentence to active voice, use the structure: Subject + Past Tense Verb (V2) + Object.
The passive object "the gardener" becomes the active subject.
The passive verb "were watered" changes to the active simple past form, "watered".
The passive subject "The plants" becomes the active object.
Active voice: The gardener watered the plants every morning.
