The correct answer is Option 2)

Key Points

  • The sentence is in the passive voice and needs to be converted to the active voice.
  • In the passive voice, the subject of the sentence (in this case 'her') is the recipient of the action.
  • In the active voice, the subject of the sentence (in this case 'She') performs the action.
  • The correct active form of the sentence should be in the present continuous tense to match the passive construction 'is being given'.
  • Format = Subject (she) + Verb (present continuous tense here) + Object (a party) + prepositional phrase (on the occasion of her sixteenth birthday.)

Therefore, the correct active form is: 'She is giving a party on the occasion of her sixteenth birthday'.

Additional Information Other options are invalid due to incorrect tense used there.

  • Option 1 = Incorrect, the tense used here is in future indefinite tense. It doesn't match with the tense given in the question.
  • Option 2 = Incorrect, the tense used here is in past continuous tense. It doesn't match with the tense given in the question.
  • Option 3 = Incorrect, the tense used here is in present perfect tense. It doesn't match with the tense given in the question.
