Answer 1

The correct answer is: It would specify who inspected the wheels.

Explanation:

In passive voice constructions, the subject of the sentence is acted upon rather than doing the action. The original sentence likely focuses on the inspections themselves rather than who is performing them. When rewritten in active voice, it would highlight the doer of the action (the inspector), providing clarity on who is responsible for the inspections. Hence, specifying who inspected the wheels is a relevant piece of information that would typically be included in the active voice version.
