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

Walking zones have been demarcated using paints and cones by the municipal corporation.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. The municipal corporation has demarcated walking zones using paints and cones.

Passive form: Walking zones have been demarcated using paints and cones by the municipal corporation.

  • In the given sentence, 'have + been + V3 i.e. demarcated' has been used, which implies that the active form should contain 'has/have + V3 i.e. demarcated'.
  • 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, as "The municipal corporation" is a singular subject, therefore, 'has' will be used.

The active form will be: The municipal corporation has demarcated walking zones using paints and cones.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 3 i.e. The municipal corporation has demarcated walking zones using paints and cones.
