Convert the sentence from passive voice to active voice: The proposal was rejected by the panel after prolonged deliberation.

1. The panel rejected the proposal after prolonged deliberation.
2. The panel had rejected the proposal.
3. The proposal rejected the panel after deliberation.
4. After prolonged deliberation, the proposal rejected the panel.

Correct answer: The panel rejected the proposal after prolonged deliberation.

Solution

In passive voice, the object receives the action and the doer is introduced by 'by'. To change it into active voice, make 'the panel' the subject and use the verb 'rejected' with 'the proposal' as the object.
