Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Miguel Cervantes wrote ‘Don Quixote’. 

  • The third form of the verb is past participle, which is always used as the main verb in sentences of voices for all tenses. 
  • Thus if the structure of passive voice is Object + Verb + by +Subject.
  • The corresponding structure of active voice will be subject + Verb + Object.
  • The tense will remain unchanged in the above case.

Thus, the correct form of active voice would be "Miguel Cervantes wrote ‘Don Quixote’."
