Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. The content creators framed the questions just to assess the skills of the test takers.
The given sentence is in passive voice:
The questions (subject) were framed (passive verb) by the content creators (agent).
To change it into active voice, the doer (the content creators) becomes the subject, and the receiver of the action (the questions) becomes the object.
The tense in the passive sentence 'were framed' is past simple, so the active voice should also be in past simple → 'framed'.
Therefore: The content creators framed the questions just to assess the skills of the test takers.
Why others are incorrect:
'had framed' – This is past perfect, which changes the tense meaning.
'were framing' – This is past continuous, which changes the aspect and timing of the action.
'could frame' – This changes the meaning to ability or possibility, not a completed past action.
