Understanding the Sentence Transformation
When transforming a sentence from passive to active voice, it's essential to identify the subject, verb, and object. In the passive voice, the subject receives the action rather than performing it.
Analyzing the Passive Voice Sentence
- Original Sentence: "The movie was enjoyed by the audience."
- Key Components:
- Subject (in passive): The movie
- Verb: was enjoyed
- Agent (doer): the audience
Identifying the Active Voice Options
To convert this sentence to active voice, the agent (the audience) must become the subject, and the verb must reflect the action directly performed by the subject.
Evaluating the Options
- Option a: "The audience enjoys the movie."
- Incorrect tense; present simple doesn't match the past action.
- Option b: "The audience enjoyed the movie."
- Correct transformation; the audience is the subject, and the past tense matches the original context.
- Option c: "The audience is enjoying the movie."
- Incorrect tense; present continuous does not align with the past action.
- Option d: "The audience has enjoyed the movie."
- While correct in structure, it uses present perfect tense, which slightly changes the time context.
Conclusion
The correct answer is option b: "The audience enjoyed the movie." This option accurately reflects the original meaning while adhering to the rules of active voice transformation, ensuring the audience is the doer of the action in the past tense.
