Select the option that expresses the given sentence in active voice. This saree was bought by my son on the occasion of my birthday.
The given sentence, "This saree was bought by my son on the occasion of my birthday," is in the passive voice. To convert it to the active voice, we need to identify the subject (the person or thing performing the action) and the object (the person or thing receiving the action). In the passive sentence, "saree" is the object, and "my son" is the subject performing the action of buying.
The passive construction uses the auxiliary verb "was" and the past participle "bought". In the active voice, the subject performs the action directly. We must change the sentence structure to reflect this. Options 1, 2, and 3 use the present perfect tense ("has bought" or "had bought"), which doesn't perfectly match the original sentence's simple past tense ("was bought").
Option 4, "My son bought this saree on the occasion of my birthday," correctly uses the active voice in simple past tense, making it the most accurate transformation of the given sentence. The subject "my son" directly performs the action "bought," making it clear and concise.
Therefore, option 4 is the correct answer because it effectively shifts the sentence from the passive voice to the active voice, maintaining the original tense and meaning.
