Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. Let us bid farewell to our seniors.
To convert a sentence from passive voice to active voice, we can follow these rules:
-
Identify the subject and the object of the sentence.
- In this case, the subject is "farewell," and the object is "our seniors."
-
Determine the tense and the verb form of the verb "be bidden."
- The tense of the verb is present perfect passive, and the verb form is "be bidden."
-
Move the object to the subject position in the active voice sentence and make it the doer of the action.
- "Our seniors" become the subject in the active voice sentence.
-
Use an active verb form that agrees with the new subject.
- Change "be bidden" to "bid" to match the subject "our seniors."
-
If the sentence has a preposition followed by an object, rephrase the preposition and place the object after the verb in the active sentence.
- There is no preposition in the given sentence.
-
If the sentence has an agent introduced by "by," include it in the active sentence as the doer of the action, preceded by the preposition "by."
- There is no agent in the given sentence.
So, the active form of the given sentence would be:
"Let us bid farewell to our seniors."
