What is the active voice form of "She is being taken"?

1. She will take

2. She has taken

3. She is taken

4. She was taken

The correct answer is: She will take

The correct active voice form of the phrase "She is being taken" is "She will take." This transformation reflects a shift from passive to active voice, indicating a subject that performs an action rather than receiving it. In the original phrase, "is being taken" suggests that someone else is performing the action of taking her. By changing it to "She will take," you are asserting that she will perform the action herself in the future. This captures the essence of an active construction where the subject is engaged in the action. The other options convey different aspects of voice and tense. "She is taken" remains passive, indicating that the subject is still not executing the action. "She was taken" also retains a passive voice, referring to a completed action in the past. "She has taken" implies she performed an action already but does not relate directly to the original statement about being taken. Thus, the transformation to "She will take" accurately reflects the change needed to create an active voice form.
