Select the correct active form of the given sentence.
Kites have been bought by many children.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. Many children have bought kites.
Passive form: Kites have been bought by many children.
- In the given sentence, 'have + been + V3 i.e. bought' has been used, which implies that the active form should contain 'has/have + V3 i.e. bought'.
- Now, simply exchange the places of the subject and the object. The subject should become the object and vice-versa while changing a sentence from Active to Passive voice or reverse.
- Remove the word 'by' when converting into active form.
- Lastly, as "children" is a plural subject, therefore, 'have' will be used.
The active form will be: Many children have bought kites.
Hence, the correct answer is Option 1 i.e. Many children have bought kites.
