Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. The narcotics team arrested the drug pedlar.
To change the voice of the sentence from passive to active, the subject and the object are interchanged, while the tense remains the same.
Here, "drug pedlar" is the subject in passive voice which becomes the object in active voice i.e. it now comes after the verb.
"Narcotics team" is the object which becomes the subject in active voice i.e. it now comes first in sentence.
The tense used in the sentence is "simple past tense" used to describe actions that happened in the past. The form remains the same in active voice.
Hence, the correct sentence is - The narcotics team arrested the drug pedlar.
