Select the option that expresses the given sentence in active voice.
He has been given a notice to vacate the house.

  1. A
    We are giving him a notice to vacate the house.
  2. B
    We had given him a notice to vacate the house.
  3. C
    We gave him a notice to vacate the house.
  4. D
    We have given him a notice to vacate the house.

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

The given sentence is in the passive voice, specifically in the present perfect tense: Subject + has/have + been + past participle (V
3

).

Passive: "He + has been given + a notice..." (The agent/subject doing the action is implied, such as "We" or "They").

To convert it into the active voice, the tense must remain present perfect: Subject + have/has + past participle (V
3

) + Object.

Using "We" as the active subject, the sentence becomes: "We have given him a notice to vacate the house."

Let's evaluate the options:

Option A uses present continuous ("are giving").

Option B uses past perfect ("had given").

Option C uses simple past ("gave").

Option D correctly uses present perfect ("have given").
