Back to paper

Select the option that expresses the following sentence in active voice.
The pizza was ordered by Nikita at 5 p.m.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Nikita ordered the pizza at 5 p.m.

  • The sentence "Nikita ordered the pizza at 5 p.m." is in the active voice because it emphasizes the subject (Nikita) performing the action (ordering the pizza).
  • In active voice, the subject comes first, followed by the verb and then the object.
  • This is the opposite of passive voice, where the object of the action comes first, followed by the verb and the subject.
  • In this case, "Nikita" is the one acting, so the active voice sentence attributes the action to her.
