Directions: Convert the given sentence into active voice.

The encrypted file cannot be opened without providing the master password.

The correct answer is: "You cannot open the encrypted file without providing the master password."

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Analyze the Passive Sentence:
The original sentence is: "The encrypted file cannot be opened without providing the master password."
- Subject (Passive): "The encrypted file"
- Verb Structure: "cannot be opened" (modal verb cannot + be + past participle opened)
- Agent: Implied general subject ("you").

2. Convert to Active Voice:
- Introduce the active subject, "You".
- Change the verb phrase from passive (cannot be opened) to active (cannot open).
- Make "the encrypted file" the direct object of the verb.
- Keep the prepositional phrase ("without providing the master password") unchanged.

3. Form the Active Sentence:
Combining these components yields: "You cannot open the encrypted file without providing the master password."
