Answer
A
The entire senior class and several chaperones attended the dance.
B
The entire senior class attended the dance, which was also attended by several chaperones.
C
The dance was attended by the entire senior class and several chaperones.
D
The dance was attended by several chaperones, and the entire senior class as well.

Explanation

In the active voice, the people doing the action are the subject of the sentence. The senior class and several chaperones attended the dance, so “The entire senior class and several chaperones attended the dance” is active. The other choices keep the dance as the subject and use passive wording such as “was attended.”
