Question
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. (Correct answer)
- B. The operation was compromised, multiple sources suggested.
- C. The sources were suggesting an operation compromise.
- D. The operation had compromised multiple internal sources.
Correct Answer
Option A — Multiple sources suggested the operation was compromised internally.
Detailed Solution & Explanation
The correct answer is Multiple sources suggested the operation was compromised internally..
Key Points
- The passive 'It was being suggested by multiple sources that …' converts to active by making the doer the subject: 'Multiple sources suggested …'.
- Option A does this cleanly while keeping the meaning that the operation was compromised internally.
- The other options change the meaning or mangle the clause; in active voice the agent ('multiple sources') leads and the reported content follows intact.
