Answer

Brief Explanations:

To convert a passive voice sentence to active, we need to make the doer (family members) the subject, the action (set) the verb, and the receiver (places) the object, while retaining the purpose (for relatives who cannot attend).

  • The first option misidentifies the doer (says "who cannot attend" set, but they are the ones being considered for the places).
  • The second option has family members (doer) as subject, set (action) as verb, places (object), and includes "for relatives who cannot attend" correctly.
  • The third option is still passive (uses "are set").
  • The fourth option misassigns the doer and receiver (relatives who cannot attend as doer, family members as receiver).

Answer:

B. Family members set places at the table for relatives who cannot attend.
