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.

  1. A. Multiple sources suggested the operation was compromised internally. (Correct answer)
  2. B. The operation was compromised, multiple sources suggested.
  3. C. The sources were suggesting an operation compromise.
  4. 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.
