Select the correct active form.

"Why was the match postponed by the organizers?"

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Conversion from passive to active voice:

Tense Identification: The passive sentence uses "was... postponed," which indicates the Simple Past tense.

Active Voice Rules: In the active voice for the Simple Past, the auxiliary verb "did" is used for questions, followed by the base form of the main verb ("postpone").

Subject-Object Swap: The object of the passive sentence ("the organizers") becomes the subject of the active sentence.

Active voice: Why did the organizers postpone the match?
