Select the option that expresses the given sentence in active voice.
The letter had been posted by me before I met him.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. I had posted the letter before I met him.
The original sentence is in passive voice with past perfect tense: “The letter had been posted by me before I met him.”
The active voice form should have the subject “I” performing the action in past perfect tense: “I had posted the letter.”
The sequence of events is kept the same: posting happened before meeting.
Option 2 correctly expresses this meaning in active voice.
Option 1 changes the sentence structure and does not use past perfect.
Option 3 changes the sequence of events (posting after meeting), which is incorrect.
Option 4 is still passive voice and incorrect tense.
