Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. These machines are used by chefs to mix the ingredients.
Active voice- Subject + V1/V5 + Object
Passive voice- Subject + Is/Am/Are + V3 + by agent
- An object must answer 'what' or 'whom'.
- Since 'these machines ' answers 'what', it is the object here which should be the subject in the passive voice.
