Those four pages were torn by Jack.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Jack tore those four pages.

  • The sentence "Those four pages were torn by Jack" is in the passive voice.

  • To convert it to the active voice, the subject of the sentence (Jack) must perform the action of the verb (tore) directly on the object (those four pages).

  • In the active voice, the structure is: Subject + Verb + Object

  • So, the active voice version of the sentence is: Jack (subject) tore (verb) those four pages (object).
