Question : Select the option that expresses the given sentence in active voice.
Was the bag packed by Mary?
Option 1: Was Mary pack the bag?
Option 2: Is Mary packing the bag?
Option 3: Do Mary pack the bag?
Option 4: Did Mary pack the bag?
Correct Answer: Did Mary pack the bag?
Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option.
Active voice emphasises the doer of the action, while passive voice emphasises the receiver. To convert passive to active, we make the subject perform the action and rephrase the verb.
The structure of the active voice in the case of the simple past interrogative sentence is: "Did + singular subject + base form of the verb + object?"
Therefore, the right answer is: "Did Mary pack the bag? "
