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

The growing population of India will have been controlled by the Indian government by 2040.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. By 2040, the Indian government will have controlled the growing population of India.

  • The original passive sentence, "The growing population of India will have been controlled by the Indian government by 2040," emphasizes the action being done to the subject.
  • By switching to active voice, the sentence becomes "By 2040, the Indian government will have controlled the growing population of India."
  • Here, "the Indian government" is the subject performing the action of controlling, and the sentence now clearly highlights who is responsible for the action, providing a more direct and engaging statement.
