Choose the option that is the most appropriate conversion of the following sentence into Active Voice. All the arrangements had been made by the organizers before we arrived.
The organizers had made all the arrangements before we arrived.
We must turn the passive sentence into active voice without changing its tense or meaning.
The passive sentence uses 'had been made', which is the past perfect tense.
To make it active, the agent 'the organizers' becomes the subject and the verb must stay in the past perfect as 'had made'.
The object 'all the arrangements' moves after the verb, giving: 'The organizers had made all the arrangements before we arrived.'
This keeps the past perfect tense, correctly showing an action completed before another past event ('before we arrived').
Option 1 uses simple past 'made', losing the past perfect sense of an earlier completed action.
Option 2 uses the future 'will have made' and option 4 uses present perfect 'have made', both of which change the original tense.
Hence, the correct answer is The organizers had made all the arrangements before we arrived.
