Convert the sentence provided below from its passive voice structure to an active voice structure: It was being suggested by multiple sources that the operation had been compromised internally.

• A. Multiple sources suggested the operation was compromised internally.
• B. The operation was compromised, multiple sources suggested.
• C. The sources were suggesting an operation compromise.
• D. The operation had compromised multiple internal sources.

Answer 1

Answer:

A. Multiple sources suggested the operation was compromised internally.

•To convert a sentence from passive to active voice, you need to identify the "doer" of the action and make it the subject of the sentence.

1. Identify the Subject (The Doer):

   • In the passive sentence, the action (suggesting) is being done "by multiple sources."

   • In the active sentence, "Multiple sources" becomes the subject at the beginning.

2. Identify the Verb and Tense:

   • The original sentence uses "was being suggested" (Past Continuous Passive).

   • To make it active and concise while maintaining the meaning of the report, we use the simple past "suggested" (or "were suggesting" if you want to keep the continuous aspect).

3. Identify the Object (The Receiver):

   • What was being suggested? That "the operation had been compromised internally." This clause remains the object of the new active sentence.
