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.
