Select the option that expresses the given sentence in active voice.
A Mercedes-Benz was owned by my father
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. My father owned a Mercedes-Benz.
This sentence is in the simple past tense and passive voice. The verb "was owned" shows that the action happened in the past.
To convert it into active voice, we place the doer of the action (my father) as the subject and use the simple past tense of the verb "own."
Option 1 is in the present perfect continuous tense, which does not match the original.
Option 2 is in the simple present tense, which is incorrect here.
Option 3 is in the present perfect tense, which is also a mismatch.
Final sentence: My father owned a Mercedes-Benz.
Hence, the chosen option is correct.
