Directions: Convert the following sentence into its active voice counterpart.

The project plan is scheduled to be approved by the board next month.

The correct answer is: The board is scheduled to approve the project plan next month.

Step-by-Step Explanation:

1. Identify the Subject and Agent:
In the passive sentence, "The project plan is scheduled to be approved by the board next month," the receiver of the action is "The project plan" and the agent performing the action (introduced by "by") is "the board".

2. Make the Agent the Main Subject:
To convert to the active voice, place the agent ("The board") as the subject performing the action.

3. Adjust the Verb Structure:
The passive infinitive construction "to be approved by the board" becomes the active infinitive construction "to approve the project plan" with "the board" as the subject taking the scheduled action.

Therefore, the active voice counterpart is: "The board is scheduled to approve the project plan next month."
