SSC Stenographer 2024 PYQ — Question 97

SSC Stenographer - 11/12/2024 (9:00 AM to 11:00 AM) • English • Q97

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

These toys were made by my uncle.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. My uncle made these toys.

The original sentence is in simple past passive voice: were made by my uncle.

To change it into active voice, make the doer (my uncle) the subject and keep the verb in simple past active: made.

Option 1 correctly preserves the tense and meaning.

Option 2 changes the tense to present perfect ('have made'), which is incorrect.

Option 3 changes it to past continuous ('was making'), which alters the meaning.

Option 4 changes it to past perfect ('had made'), which is also incorrect.
