1. Many scientists carry out many interesting experiments in our laboratory.
- To change the sentence from a passive construction to an active one, we need to identify the subject (who is performing the action) and make it the doer of the action. In this case, the subject is "scientists." So, we rewrite the sentence using the active voice and the subject as the doer of the action: "Many scientists carry out many interesting experiments in our laboratory."
2. The Embassy refuses her a visa.
- Again, we identify the subject (who is performing the action) and make it the doer of the action. In this case, the subject is "the Embassy." So, we rewrite the sentence: "The Embassy refuses her a visa."
