Change the following sentence into the Active form. The new law was passed by the parliament.
The parliament passed the new law.
The given sentence, 'The new law was passed by the parliament', is in the passive voice, and it must be turned into the active voice.
The first step is to make the agent, the doer introduced by 'by', into the subject; here that agent is 'the parliament'.
The passive object 'the new law' then becomes the object of the active verb.
The tense must be preserved: 'was passed' is simple past, so the active verb is the simple past 'passed'.
Combining these gives 'The parliament passed the new law', which keeps both the meaning and the tense of the original.
Option 2 uses the present tense 'passes', changing the tense; option 4 remains passive; and option 1, 'The new law passed the parliament', reverses the doer and receiver, altering the meaning.
Hence, the correct active form is The parliament passed the new law.
