Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. The man was robbed of all his possessions by someone.

  • The instructions given below should be followed while changing a simple past sentence to a passive voice.

    • Find the subject and object of the sentence and exchange their places; make changes in their cases as well if the subject and object are pronouns.

    • Use the preposition 'by' before the agent.

    • Use an appropriate helping verb(was) in the passive form at the start of the sentence according to the tense of the active form. (Simple past- was//were +v3)

    • Always use the third form of the main verb(robbed) in passive form.

    • At last line up the remaining part.

So, the final sentence is - The man was robbed of all his possessions by someone.
