Convert the sentence provided below from its passive voice structure to an active voice structure: The law is supposed to be enforced strictly in sensitive areas.
Authorities are supposed to enforce the law strictly in sensitive areas.
In the passive sentence, "is supposed to be enforced" means someone is expected to enforce the law. The agent is not stated, but the logical doer of enforcement is the authorities.
In the active voice, the doer becomes the subject and "to be enforced" becomes "to enforce", with "the law" as the object: "Authorities are supposed to enforce the law strictly in sensitive areas." The adverb "strictly" and the phrase "in sensitive areas" are kept.
"The law enforces itself" makes the law the doer, which changes the meaning. "It is supposed that someone strictly enforced the law" shifts to the past and drops "in sensitive areas". "Strict enforcement of law is supposed in sensitive regions" is still not an active structure and changes the wording.
Hence, the active form is "Authorities are supposed to enforce the law strictly in sensitive areas."
