Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. Everyone admires honest and polite people.

Following steps should be followed to change the passive form of the given sentence into its active form:

 

  • Identify the subject: Look for the doer of the action in the sentence. In this case, the subject is "everyone."

  • Identify the verb: Identify the main verb in the sentence. In this case, the verb is "are admired."

  • Determine the object: Identify the recipient of the action in the sentence. In this case, the object is "honest and polite people."

  • Place the subject as the doer of the action: In the active voice, the subject performs the action. Therefore, place the subject "everyone" at the beginning of the sentence.

  • Choose an appropriate active verb: Select a verb that conveys the intended meaning and matches the tense and form of the passive verb. In this case, the verb "admires" is used as it corresponds to the present tense of the passive verb "are admired."

  • Place the object after the verb: Place the object "honest and polite people" after the verb "admires" in the active voice.

Thus, the active form of the given sentence is:

Everyone admires honest and polite people.
