Select the option that expresses the given sentence in active voice. I am upset because my cell phone has been stolen.
The original sentence, "I am upset because my cell phone has been stolen," is in the passive voice. The passive voice emphasizes the action's effect on the subject rather than the actor performing the action. To convert it to active voice, we need to identify the actor (the one who stole the phone) and make them the subject of the sentence.
Option 2, "I am upset because someone has stolen my cell phone," correctly achieves this. "Someone" becomes the subject performing the action ("has stolen"). This clearly identifies the actor, unlike the original passive sentence which leaves the actor unspecified. The other options either retain a passive construction or introduce unnecessary details which alter the original meaning. For example, option 1 uses "they," implying a specific group, instead of the more general "someone." Option 3 suggests an ongoing theft rather than a single incident, and option 4 adds unnecessary specification about the thief being "an unknown person."
Therefore, option 2 provides the most concise and accurate active voice rendition of the given sentence.
