Question

Active voice of: The flowers have been watered by the gardener.

• A. The gardener has watered the flowers
• B. The flowers watering by the gardener
• C. The flowers are watered at the garden
• D. Gardener is watering the flowers

Hint:

Pay close attention to the tense. `have/has been + past participle` is present perfect passive. Its active form is `have/has + past participle`. The number (singular/plural) of the new subject determines whether you use 'have' or 'has'.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Understanding the Concept:
This question requires converting a sentence from the present perfect passive voice to the active voice. The OCR seems to have misinterpreted this question; it is likely asking for the ACTIVE voice of a passive sentence, but the provided options seem to imply the question is asking for the active voice of "The flowers have been watered by the gardener". Let's assume the question in the image is "Active voice of: The flowers have been watered by the gardener."

Step 2: Key Rules for Conversion:
1. Identify Subject, Verb, Agent: The passive subject is 'The flowers'. The verb is 'have been watered'. The agent is 'the gardener'.
2. Make Agent the Subject: The agent 'the gardener' becomes the new subject.
3. Change Verb Form: The present perfect passive ('have been watered') changes to the present perfect active ('has watered'). We use 'has' because the new subject ('The gardener') is singular.
4. Make Passive Subject the Object: The passive subject 'The flowers' becomes the new object.

Step 3: Detailed Explanation:
- Passive: "The flowers have been watered by the gardener."
- New Subject: "The gardener"
- New Verb: The tense is present perfect. The subject is singular. So, `has + past participle` -> `has watered`.
- New Object: "the flowers"
- Active Sentence: "The gardener has watered the flowers."
This matches option (A). Options (B), (C), and (D) are grammatically incorrect or in the wrong tense.

Step 4: Final Answer:
The correct active voice is The gardener has watered the flowers.
