Concept:In passive voice, the subject receives the action. In active voice, the subject performs the action.
Explanation:The given passive sentence is: “Sujata was advised by her mother to carry an umbrella while stepping out into the rain.”
The subject in passive voice is “Sujata,” and the agent is “her mother.”
To convert to active voice, place the agent (“her mother”) as the subject.
Change the verb “was advised” to the simple past active “advised.”
Place the original passive subject (“Sujata”) as the object after the verb.
Keep the rest of the phrase (“to carry an umbrella while stepping out into the rain”) unchanged.
Thus, the correct active voice sentence is: “Her mother advised Sujata to carry an umbrella while stepping out into the rain.”
Option A matches this exactly.
Option B incorrectly swaps subject and object. Option C changes “Her mother” to “The mother,” altering the meaning slightly. Option D is the unchanged passive sentence.
Answer:Option A: Her mother advised Sujata to carry an umbrella while stepping out into the rain.
