Question

Which of the following sentences is in active voice?

Answer 1

Answer:

b. The flower bloomed earlier than expected.

Explanation:

The other three have 'was' before the verbs; 'the athlete was penalized', 'the child was fed', 'he was convinced', etc. This puts these three sentences in the passive voice. While, 'the flower bloomed earlier than expected' shows the flower acting the verb, rather than the verb acting on it, thus making putting it in the active voice.

hope this helps !!
