The correct answer is option 2 i.e. An amphitheatre will be built by the government.

Following steps should be followed to convert the given sentence into its passive form:

 

  • The subject in the active voice becomes the object in the passive voice and the object in the active voice becomes the subject in the passive voice.
  • The subject in the active voice becomes the object in the passive voice and the object in the active voice becomes the subject in the passive voice.
