Question 10 • English Language Arts 11

Read the sentence. The dance was attended by the entire senior class, as well as several chaperones. Which is the best way to write this sentence in the active voice?

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

Explanation

In active voice, the subject performs the action. Here, the entire senior class and several chaperones performed the action of attending, so they should be the subject: “The entire senior class and several chaperones attended the dance.” The other choices keep the passive construction “was attended” or use it in part.
