Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 1 i.e.The movie fascinated me.

Following steps should be followed to convert the given sentence into its active form:

 

  • Identifying the subject and object of the sentence.
  • Then, change the positions of the subject and object and adjusting the verb form accordingly.
  • In the given sentence, the subject is "I" and the object is "the movie".
  • The sentence is already in the past tense, so we just need to change it from passive to active voice.
  • To do this, we need to move the subject "I" before the verb and make it the doer of the action.
  • We also need to change the verb form from the past participle "fascinated" to the past simple "fascinated" to match the active voice.

Thus, the correct active form of the given sentence is:

The movie fascinated me.
