Question 8 • English 3

Read the sentence. The final goal was kicked by Jake, and the Huskies won the game. Which is the best way to write this sentence in the active voice?

Answer
A
Jake was kicking the final goal, and the Huskies won the game.
B
The final goal was being kicked by Jake, and the Huskies won the game.
C
Jake kicked the final goal, and the Huskies won the game.
D
The final goal had been kicked by Jake, and the Huskies won the game.

Explanation

In the original sentence, “The final goal was kicked by Jake” is passive: the goal receives the action, and Jake performs it. To make it active, put Jake first and use the simple past verb “kicked”: “Jake kicked the final goal.” The rest of the sentence stays the same, so choice C is correct.
