Transform the following sentence into active voice.
This law which was passed in the parliament last year should have been reviewed properly by the members of the committee.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
Passive to active voice transformation:
Identify the Subject and Object: In the original passive sentence, "the members of the committee" is the agent (performing the action) and "this law" is the object (receiving the action).
Active Main Clause: The passive "should have been reviewed properly by the members of the committee" becomes the active "The members of the committee should have reviewed the law properly."
Active Relative Clause: The passive phrase "which was passed in the parliament" becomes the active "which the parliament passed."
Logical Flow: This option correctly assigns the act of reviewing to the committee and the act of passing the law to the parliament, maintaining the original meaning.
Active voice: The members of the committee should have reviewed the law properly, which the parliament passed last year.
