    A The manager was not signing the documents. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B The documents did not sign the manager. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C The manager not signed the documents. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D The manager did not sign the documents. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    To change it into active voice, the subject (the manager) should perform the action directly:"The manager did not sign the documents."
    Options 1 and 2 are grammatically incorrect, and option 3 changes the meaning entirely.
