Correct Answer :

Option A

Love can overcome hatred.

Love can overcome hatred.

Solution :

The correct answer is: Love can overcome hatred.

To convert a sentence from the passive voice to the active voice, we follow these steps:
1. Identify the agent (doer of the action): In the passive sentence, "by love" indicates that "love" is the agent performing the action.
2. Identify the receiver (object of the action): "Hatred" is the subject in the passive sentence, which receives the action.
3. Identify the verb phrase and tense: The passive verb phrase is "can be overcome", which uses the modal "can" + auxiliary "be" + past participle "overcome".
4. Reconstruct the sentence in active voice:
- Move the agent ("Love") to the subject position.
- Change the verb phrase to the active form matching the original modal and tense: "can" + base form of the verb ("overcome"), resulting in "can overcome".
- Move the receiver ("hatred") to the object position.
Combining these gives: "Love can overcome hatred."
