Select the active form of the sentence :
He was refused admittance.
Answer: A
The active form is They refused him admittance.
'He was refused admittance' is in the simple past passive (was + past participle). The active voice keeps the same tense, so the verb becomes the simple past 'refused'. The unstated agent becomes a general subject 'They', and the passive subject 'He' becomes the object 'him'.
'had refused' is the past perfect, 'have refused' the present perfect and 'will have refused' the future perfect. Each changes the tense, which a voice change must not do.
