Explanation
- The original sentence "The entire stretch of highway was paved by the crew" is in passive voice, where the subject "highway" receives the action of paving.- To convert it to active voice, we need to make the crew the subject, and the action (paving) is performed by them. Hence, the correct active voice construction is "The crew paved the entire stretch of highway".

About Active and Passive Voice
