Select the correct active form of the given sentence. "The damaged road will be repaired by the municipality."
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
Passive to active voice conversion:
Active vs. Passive Voice: In the passive sentence "The damaged road will be repaired by the municipality," the focus is on the object (the road). To convert it to active voice, the subject (the municipality) must perform the action.
Tense Consistency: The original sentence is in the future tense ("will be repaired"). The active form must maintain this tense using "will" followed by the base form of the verb ("will repair" or, in this specific multiple-choice context, "will begin repairing").
Active voice: The municipality will begin repairing the damaged road.
