Questions: Read the sentence. A tray of fresh watermelon slices was provided by the booster club. How should the writer revise the sentence to use active voice?

The answer is: The booster club provided a tray of fresh watermelon slices.

Explanation for each option:

1. A tray was provided by the booster club of fresh watermelon slices.

   • This sentence is still in passive voice and is also awkwardly phrased. It does not effectively shift to active voice.

2. Slices of fresh watermelon were provided by the booster club.

   • This sentence remains in passive voice. It does not change the structure to make the subject (the booster club) perform the action directly.

3. The booster club provided a tray of fresh watermelon slices.

   • This sentence correctly uses active voice. The subject (the booster club) is performing the action (provided) directly on the object (a tray of fresh watermelon slices).

4. Fresh watermelon slices were provided fresh by the booster club.

   • This sentence is also in passive voice and contains a redundancy with the word "fresh" used twice. It does not effectively revise the sentence to active voice.

Therefore, the correct revision to use active voice is: "The booster club provided a tray of fresh watermelon slices."
