Which of the following options is the most suitable conversion of the following sentence into active voice?
Why is this day celebrated as 'Children's Day'?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
Steps taken to convert a sentence from passive to active voice
The original sentence, "Why is this day celebrated...", is in the Simple Present Tense (indicated by is + past participle celebrated).
In the passive sentence, the agent (the person doing the action) is missing. In such cases, we usually introduce a general subject like "people" or "they".
Structure the Active Voice:
Passive: Question word + is/am/are + subject + past participle
Active: Question word + do/does + subject + base verb + object
Apply the conversion:
"Why" remains at the beginning.
Since "people" is plural, we use "do".
The base form of "celebrated" is "celebrate".
The object is "this day".
Option ‘C’ implements all these rules.
