Select the correct active form of the given sentence.
The animals in the zoo should not be fed.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e Don’t feed the animals in the zoo
- The sentence is in passive voice, where "the animals in the zoo" is the subject being acted upon, and "should not be fed" describes the action.
-
Change the passive sentence to an imperative form: The active voice for instructions or commands often uses the imperative mood. Here, "Do not feed" is the command form telling someone not to act.
-
Include the object of the action in the imperative form: In the active voice, the direct object ("the animals in the zoo") remains the same.
Thus, the active form is: Don’t feed the animals in the zoo.
