Select the option that expresses the given sentence in active voice.
Geography is taught to us by Mr. Anand.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Mr. Anand teaches us Geography.

The original sentence is in passive voice:

'Geography is taught to us by Mr. Anand.'

To convert this into active voice, follow these steps:

Identify the subject performing the action: Mr. Anand

Identify the action (verb): is taught → present simple passive

Convert to active voice → present simple active: teaches

Object in passive becomes object in active: us

So, the sentence becomes:

'Mr. Anand teaches us Geography.' 

Let’s review the other options:

Mr. Anand will teach us Geography. – This is in future tense, not present. 

Mr. Anand will be teaching us Geography. – Future continuous tense. 

Mr. Anand shall teach us Geography. – Also future tense.
