Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. The peon rings the bell.

  • The given sentence is in Passive Voice and Simple Present tense.
  • As per the given question, we must change it to Active Voice.
  • The structure of the given sentence is as follows:
    • Subject (objective case)+ is/am/were + V3 + Object (subjective case). (Passive Voice)
    • Subject + V1(s/es)+ Object. (Active Voice)
  • The subject of the given sentence is 'bell' and the object is 'peon.'
  • The subject will be put in place of the object and the object will be put in place of the subject.
  • 'Is rung' will be changed into 'rings.'

Therefore, the correct sentence will be: The peon rings the bell.
