Question

Convert the sentence provided below from its passive voice structure to an active voice structure:

The photos will be printed by the studio within an hour.

1. A. The studio prints the photos within an hour.
2. B. The studio will print the photos within an hour. (Correct answer)
3. C. The photos printed by the studio soon.
4. D. The studio had printed the photos in an hour.

Correct Answer

Option B — The studio will print the photos within an hour.

Detailed Solution & Explanation

The correct answer is The studio will print the photos within an hour.

Key Points

• The passive sentence is in the simple future: *will be printed*.
• Converting to the active voice, the agent the studio becomes the subject and the verb becomes will print.
• The tense must be preserved, which eliminates the alternatives: option A shifts to the simple present, C drops the auxiliary entirely, and D moves to the past perfect.

Additional Information

• The conversion rule: passive object → active subject, the by-agent → active subject position, and the verb takes the active form of the same tense.
• Where the passive has no stated agent, the active supplies a general subject such as *people*, *they* or *one*.
• The time expression — *within an hour* — carries over unchanged; adverbials of time and manner are not affected by a change of voice.
