Change the following sentence into the Active form. The national anthem is sung at the beginning of every match.
People sing the national anthem at the beginning of every match.
The given sentence, 'The national anthem is sung at the beginning of every match', is in the passive voice: subject + 'is' + past participle 'sung'.
The tense marker is the simple present ('is sung'), so the active version must also stay in the simple present tense.
To turn passive into active we locate the real doer, make it the grammatical subject, turn the old passive subject into the object, and drop the auxiliary 'be'.
Here the doer is not named in the passive, so we supply the general agent 'People', the natural subject for a customary action that everybody performs.
The passive verb 'is sung' collapses to its plain present base 'sing', which agrees with the plural subject 'People' and keeps the simple present tense.
This yields 'People sing the national anthem at the beginning of every match', with the object and the time phrase left unchanged.
Option A wrongly makes the anthem itself the singer ('The national anthem sings'), while C shifts to present continuous and D to present perfect, altering the tense; so the correct active form is People sing the national anthem at the beginning of every match.
