Solution :

Correct Answer: The intern submits a report to the supervisor every Monday.


Step-by-Step Explanation:


To convert a sentence from passive voice to active voice, follow these simple steps:


1. Identify the Subject, Verb, and Object in the Passive Sentence:
- Passive Subject (receiver of action): "A report"
- Verb phrase: "is submitted" (simple present tense)
- Agent/Doer of the action (introduced by 'by'): "the intern"
- Recipient of report / Time expression: "to the supervisor every Monday"


2. Make the Agent the Subject of the Active Sentence:
The person performing the action is "the intern". In active voice, this becomes the main subject of the sentence.


3. Change the Verb Form to Active Voice (Simple Present Tense):
The original verb phrase "is submitted" indicates the simple present tense. In active voice, for the singular subject "The intern", the verb becomes "submits".


4. Re-order the Components:
Subject + Verb + Direct Object + Prepositional Phrase / Time Modifier
- Subject: The intern
- Verb: submits
- Direct Object: a report
- Remaining Details: to the supervisor every Monday


Putting it all together gives us: "The intern submits a report to the supervisor every Monday."
