Question

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

The package is delivered to the office every morning.

1. A. The office delivers the package every morning.
2. B. Someone delivers the package to the office every morning. (Correct answer)
3. C. The office has delivered the package every morning.
4. D. The package delivers itself to the office every morning.

Correct Answer

Option B — Someone delivers the package to the office every morning.

Detailed Solution & Explanation

The correct answer is Someone delivers the package to the office every morning..

Key Points

• The passive sentence has no stated agent — it does not say who delivers the package.
• When the agent is unknown or unimportant, the active version supplies an indefinite subject such as *someone*, *people* or *they*.
• This gives: Someone delivers the package to the office every morning, keeping the simple present tense intact.

Additional Information

• Option A wrongly makes *the office* the agent, but in the original the office is the destination introduced by *to*, not the doer of the action.
• Option C shifts the tense to the present perfect and option D produces the absurd claim that the package delivers itself — both change the meaning rather than just the voice.
• The general rule: active → passive moves the object forward; passive → active must recover an agent, and where the *by*-phrase is absent an indefinite pronoun stands in for it.
