Select the option that expresses the given sentence in active voice. Lovely tunes are composed by Domnica.

Correct — C. The given verb is are composed — 'is/are + past participle', which is the simple present passive.

So the active must also be simple present. The agent after 'by' becomes the subject (Domnica), and the passive subject becomes the object (lovely tunes).

Domnica is third person singular, so the verb takes -s: composes.
That gives 'Domnica composes lovely tunes' → option (c).

Why the others are wrong

• (a)
  Domnica composes tunes lovely. — The tense is right, but the word order is not: an adjective sits before the noun it describes, so 'lovely tunes' is fixed and 'tunes lovely' is ungrammatical.
• (b)
  Domnica will compose lovely tunes. — Will compose is simple future. Changing voice never changes tense, and 'are composed' is present, not future.
• (d)
  Domnica composed lovely tunes. — Composed is simple past. That is the active of 'were composed', not of 'are composed' — the same tense slip as option (b), one step backwards instead of forwards.

A voice change rearranges a sentence; it does not retell it at a different time.

Three moves make the active: the by-agent becomes the subject, the passive subject becomes the object, and the auxiliary tells you which tense to rebuild in.

Read the auxiliary first. 'Is/are + V3' is simple present, 'was/were + V3' is simple past, 'has/have been + V3' is present perfect. Match it, then make the verb agree with the new subject.

Key facts

• Simple present passive is is/are + past participle.
• The tense never changes when the voice changes.
• The agent introduced by 'by' becomes the subject of the active sentence.
• An attributive adjective stays in front of its noun after the rearrangement.

Common traps

• Shifting the tense while shifting the voice
• Forgetting the third-person -s once the singular agent becomes the subject
• Rebuilding the object phrase with the adjective after the noun
