Which of the following options is the most suitable conversion of the following sentence into active voice?
Several cultural exchange programmes are organised by the council every summer to promote international understanding.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
Correct Answer
The council organises several cultural exchange programmes every summer to promote international understanding.
Explanation
The given sentence is in the simple present passive voice ("are organised"). To convert it into active voice, the subject "the council" becomes the doer of the action, and the verb changes to the simple present active form "organises."
The correct sentence is:
"The council organises several cultural exchange programmes every summer to promote international understanding."
The other options are incorrect. Option 2 changes the tense to simple past. Option 3 changes it to present continuous. Option 4 changes it to future tense. These do not maintain the original tense.
Key Points
For simple present passive voice, the active voice structure is:
Subject + V¹/V¹+s/es + Object
Always keep the original tense unchanged while converting active and passive voice.
