Correct Answer: Each candidate was making tall promises.
Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option.
Active voice emphasises the doer of the action, while passive voice emphasises the receiver. To convert passive to active, we make the subject perform the action and rephrase the verb.
The structure of the active voice in the case of the past continuous tense is: "Singular subject + was + present participle form of the verb + object."
Therefore, the correct sentence is: Each candidate was making tall promises.
