Question 2 • FL-1001370-English 3 A

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

Explanation

In the original sentence, “The final goal” receives the action, so the verb phrase “was kicked” is passive. To make it active, put the person doing the action, Jake, before the verb: “Jake kicked the final goal.” The second clause stays the same, so the best choice is “Jake kicked the final goal, and the Huskies won the game.”
