Answer:

According to the Elements of Style, the sentence which is written in active voice is option D) The workers took precautions while digging along power lines.

Explanation:

In very simple terms, a sentence is said to be written in an active voice if the verb(s) (that is, actions words) is(are) being performed by the subject(s).

In the above sentence, the workers are the subjects while the action words/phrases are:

  • took precaution
  • digging.

A simpler example (with one subject and one verb) is:

John is driving the car.

Here, John is the subject and driving is the verb.

A passive version of the above sentence would be: The car was driven by John.

Cheers
