Easy

Pick out the correct sentence in active voice of the following sentence;

Why was such a letter written by your father?

Correct Option: 3
  1. 'Why had your father written such a letter?' suggests completion of the action in the past perfect, not directly comparable to the simple past passive given.
  2. 'Why did your father wrote such a letter?' is grammatically incorrect due to the use of 'wrote' instead of 'write' after 'did.'
  3. 'Why did your father write such a letter?' correctly shifts the passive voice back to active while maintaining correct tense and form.
  4. 'Why was your father writing such a letter?' implies ongoing action, differing from the simple past passive structure.
