Select the option that expresses the given sentence in active voice.
Some students are known to grow wise early.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2, i.e., “People know that some students grow wise early.”
The original sentence (Some students are known to grow wise early) is in passive voice. To convert it into active voice:
Identify the agent: “Some students are known” → “People know…”
Maintain the same meaning and tense.
Use “grow wise early” directly as in the original.
Option 2 rephrases the sentence correctly in active voice.
My source confirms that “We know that some children go wise early” switches to “It is known that…” in passive form, so the reverse – using “People know that some students grow wise early” – is the appropriate active structure.
