Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. The restaurant was renovated by them in 2017.
Active voice- Subject + V2 + Object
Passive voice- Subject + was/were + V3 + by agent
- An object must answer 'what' or 'whom'.
- Since 'the restaurant ' answers 'what', 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.
