Choose the correct active voice of the sentence given below :
My pocket has been picked.

Question

Accepted Answer

Option 1, "Someone has picked my pocket," is the correct active voice transformation of the given passive voice sentence, "My pocket has been picked."

1. **Explanation for Option 1:**
   - In the passive voice sentence, "My pocket has been picked," the subject is "My pocket," and the action is being done to it. To convert this into active voice, we need to identify the doer of the action, which is implied as "someone." Therefore, the sentence becomes "Someone has picked my pocket," where "someone" is the subject performing the action, and "my pocket" is the object receiving the action. This transformation correctly follows the structure of active voice, where the subject performs the action on the object.

2. **Explanation for why other options are incorrect:**
   - **Option 2: "Picked was my pocket."**
     - This option is grammatically incorrect and does not follow the standard structure of an active voice sentence. It incorrectly places the verb "picked" before the subject and does not clearly identify the doer of the action.
   
   - **Option 3: "Do you know who picked my pocket?"**
     - While this sentence is grammatically correct, it is not a direct transformation of the given passive voice sentence into active voice. Instead, it introduces a question format and does not maintain the original statement's structure.
   
   - **Option 4: "My pocket was picked."**
     - This option is still in passive voice. It does not change the sentence to active voice, as it retains the focus on the object "my pocket" rather than identifying the subject performing the action.

In conclusion, Option 1 is the correct active voice transformation because it appropriately shifts the focus from the object to the subject performing the action, aligning with the requirements of active voice construction.
