Correct Answer: The author wrote the book over a period of two years.
Solution : The correct choice is the first option.
Active voice emphasises the doer of the action, while passive voice emphasises the receiver. To convert active to passive, we make the subject perform the action, and rephrase the verb.
The structure of the active voice in the case of the simple past tense is: "Singular subject + past form of the verb + object + time phrase."
Therefore, the active voice sentence is: "The author wrote the book over a period of two years."
