Select the correct active form of the given sentence.

Three online games of chess were won by Rahul in a row.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Rahul won three online games of chess in a row.

  • The original sentence "Three online games of chess were won by Rahul in a row" is in the passive voice, where the focus is on the action (the games being won) rather than the person acting (Rahul).
  • To change this to the active voice, the focus shifts to the subject, Rahul, who is actively acting like winning the games.
  • In the active voice, the sentence becomes "Rahul won three online games of chess in a row," which clearly emphasizes Rahul as the one who won the games.
