Select the option that expresses the given sentence in active voice.

Elaborate plans are being made for Aarushi’s destination wedding.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. They are making elaborate plans for Aarushi’s destination wedding.

Passive form: Elaborate plans are being made for Aarushi’s destination wedding.

  • In the given sentence, 'is/are/am + being + V3 i.e. made' has been used, which implies that the active form should contain 'is/are/am + V1 + ing'. (Active to passive voice rule for Present Continuous tense.)
  • Now, simply exchange the places of the subject and the object. The subject should become the object and vice-versa while changing a sentence from Active to Passive voice or reverse.
  • Remove the preposition 'by' when converting into active voice.
  • The subject of the given sentence in active voice will be 'they' which is hidden object in the passive form.

The active form will be: They are making elaborate plans for Aarushi’s destination wedding.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 1 i.e. They are making elaborate plans for Aarushi’s destination wedding.
