A sentence has been given in Passive voice. Select the option that best expresses the same sentence in active voice. The assignment will be submitted by the students to the teacher.
The students will submit the assignment to the teacher.
The conversion: the agent introduced by by becomes the subject, the passive subject becomes the object, and the tense is preserved.
Applying it. The agent is ‘the students’ and the passive subject is ‘the assignment’. The passive verb will be submitted is the simple future, so the active verb is will submit.
That gives ‘The students will submit the assignment to the teacher.’
Why the others fail:
Option 1 keeps ‘the assignment’ as the subject, which would mean the assignment does the submitting — impossible.
Option 3 makes ‘the teacher’ the subject, reversing who submits to whom. Note that ‘to the teacher’ in the original is the recipient, not the agent; only the phrase after by names the doer. Confusing the two is what this option tests.
Option 4 changes the verb to will be submitting, the future continuous, altering the tense.
Takeaway: in a passive sentence with two people in it, find the one after by — that is the future subject.
