Answer 1

The sentence that uses a verb in the active voice is:

**Detectives investigated the disappearance of five bicycles from the bike racks.**

In this sentence, the subject (Detectives) is performing the action of the verb (investigated). The other sentences either use passive voice or are phrased in a way that does not clearly convey active voice.
