Question 2 • English Language Arts 11

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