Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Solution
The correct answer is People have always perceived politicians as corrupt and degraded villains.
:-
The given sentence is in the Passive voice. To convert it into active voice, the following changes should be done:-
'People' which is an object becomes the subject and 'politicians' becomes the object.
The preposition 'by' is removed.
'Has/have + been + V3' in passive voice changes to 'Has/have + V3' in active voice.
The rest part of the sentence 'as corrupt and degraded villains' remains as it.
Thus, the sentence becomes: People have always perceived politicians as corrupt and degraded villains.
