Which of the following options is the most suitable conversion of the following sentence into active voice?
The latest safety regulations are being strictly implemented by the transport department.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
Correct Answer
The transport department is strictly implementing the latest safety regulations.
Explanation
The given sentence is in the present continuous passive voice (“are being implemented”). In active voice, the structure changes to is/am/are + verb + ing. Since “the transport department” is singular, the correct sentence is “The transport department is strictly implementing the latest safety regulations.”
The other options are incorrect. Option 1 changes the tense to simple present. Option 3 changes the tense to simple past. Option 4 changes the tense to present perfect. These do not preserve the original tense of the sentence.
Key Points
The active voice of the present continuous passive follows the structure Subject + is/am/are + V-ing + Object. Always maintain the original tense while changing the voice.
