Question

read the sentence. the dusk was filled by the coyotes eerie howl. which revision puts the sentence in the active voice while maintaining the original meaning? the coyotes eerie howl filled the dusk. the coyotes dusk was filled by the coyotes eerie howl. the coyotes howl was filling the eerie dusk. the coyotes howl was filling the dusk eerily.

Explanation:

In the original sentence, the subject is "the dusk" and it is in passive voice. In active voice, the doer of the action (the coyote's eerie howl) should be the subject. The first option "The coyote's eerie howl filled the dusk" makes the doer (the howl) the subject and is in active voice while keeping the original meaning. The second option has incorrect logic as "the coyote's dusk" is wrong. The third option changes the adjective "eerie" to describe "dusk" instead of "howl" which slightly alters the meaning. The fourth option changes the adverb placement and also changes the emphasis.

Answer:

The coyote's eerie howl filled the dusk.
