Choose the most appropriate active construction of the given sentence:

His son was cast in the leading role by the director in his upcoming film.

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

In the active voice, the doer ('the director') becomes the subject and the past tense of the original ('was cast') is retained as 'cast': 'The director cast his son in the leading role in his upcoming film.' Options 1 and 4 remain passive, and option 3 changes the tense to future.
