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

I was given a robot by him.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. He gave me a robot.

Passive form: I was given a robot by him.

  • In the given sentence, 'was + V3 i.e. given' has been used, which implies that the active form should contain 'V2 i.e. gave'.
  • 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 word 'by' when converting into active form.
  • Lastly, the pronoun 'I' will be changed to 'me' and the pronoun 'him' will be changed to 'he' when converting into active form.

The active form will be: He gave me a robot.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 2 i.e. He gave me a robot.
