Answer

Brief Explanations:

In the original, passive - voice phrases like "I was informed" and "I was being given" are used. To change to active voice, we make the doer of the action the subject. The ticket agent is the doer of "informing" and "giving options".

Answer:

Immediately upon arriving at the airport, a ticket agent informed me that my flight had already departed. While the agent was giving me options for my next flight, my frustration increased because texts were constantly being sent by her on her cell - phone. (Note: the last part about texts being sent is still in passive voice as the focus is on the action being done to the texts. If we want to fully convert it to active voice, we could say "while the agent was giving me options for my next flight, my frustration increased because she was constantly sending texts on her cell - phone.")
