Select the option that expresses the given sentence in active voice. Rajesh was permitted to go home a little early by the manager.
Answer: B
The active voice is 'The manager permitted Rajesh to go home a little early.'
In the passive sentence 'Rajesh was permitted by the manager', the doer is the manager. In the active voice the manager becomes the subject and the tense, past, stays the same.
Option A changes the tense to present perfect, C swaps the doer and D uses the future.
To change to the active voice, put the doer, the manager, first, followed by the verb in the same tense and the object. The passive 'was permitted' is the simple past, so the active verb is 'permitted'. The sentence 'The manager permitted Rajesh to go home a little early' says exactly the same thing.
