Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. The students were informed by the teachers that the class had been cancelled.
Active voice- Subject + V2 + Object
Passive voice- Subject + was/were + V3 + by agent
- An object must answer 'what' or 'whom'.
- Since 'the students ' answers 'whom', it is the object here which should be the subject in the passive voice.
As the chosen option follows the above structure it will be correct.
