Key Points
- The given sentence is in passive voice, where the action is done to the subject.
- In passive voice constructions, the focus is on the recipient of the action rather than the doer of the action.
- Structure: Object (French) + Verb (is taught) + To/For Phrase (to us) + By Phrase (by Miss Glenn)
- Example: A beautiful landscape was painted by her.
- The active voice version will emphasize the doer of the action, bringing "Miss Glenn" to the forefront as the one performing the action.
- Structure: Subject (Miss Glenn) + Verb (teaches) + Object (us) + Complement (French)
- Example: She painted a beautiful landscape.
- In the active voice, "Miss Glenn" becomes the subject, and the sentence is structured to highlight the person performing the action (teaching).
Therefore, the correct answer is option 3.
