In the following items, you are required to select the most appropriate voice of the given phrase and mark your response from the options that follow. Change from Passive to Active voice : He was said to be a good cricketer
EnglishReading Comprehension
- AThey said he is a good cricketer
- BThey said he was a good cricketer
- CHe is a good cricketer
- DNo change
Explanation
The active form introduces they as the subject while keeping the past tense, giving they said he was a good cricketer. Changing was to is would wrongly shift the tense, and option C drops the reporting verb. Hence B is correct.
