The correct active voice is: She had already prepared pudding.

Key Points

  • The given sentence is written in the passive voice.
  • To convert this sentence to active voice, we need to make the subject of the sentence the doer of the action.
  • Identify the subject, verb, and object:
    • Subject: Pudding
    • Verb: had been prepared
    • Object: by her
  • Determine the doer of the action (agent):
    • The doer of the action is "her."
  • Construct the active voice sentence:
    • Subject: She (the doer of the action)
    • Verb: had already prepared
    • Object: pudding
  • So, the active voice sentence is: "She had already prepared pudding."

Therefore, the correct answer is option 2.

Additional Information

  • "She has already prepared pudding" is in the present perfect tense and is not in active voice.
  • "She have already prepared pudding" is grammatically incorrect as the subject "she" requires the singular verb "has" or "had."
  • "She will prepare pudding" is in the future tense and is not in an active voice.
