Discussion
Choose the most appropriate active voice of the given sentence from the options that follow :
It was said that he was angry with her.
Answer: D
The active form is People said that he was angry with her.
"It was said that..." is the passive of 'say' in the past tense with no agent named. In the active voice a general subject such as 'People' is supplied and the tense of the reporting verb stays past: 'People said'. The reported clause 'he was angry with her' is unchanged.
'People say' changes the tense to the present. 'People said that he is angry' changes the reported clause. 'He is said to be angry with her' is still passive, and in the present tense.
