The sentence is in active form of past indefinite tense. The structures for active/passive voices are: Active Voice: Subject + second form of verb + s/es + object. Passive Voice: Object to subject + was/were + past participle form of verb + by + subject to object. |
The following rules should be considered while changing active form to passive voice: • The places of subject and object will be interchanged in the sentence. • Only 3rd form of the verb or Past Participle will be used as a main verb in the Passive Voice. An active sentence in the simple past tense is converted into passive with the following pattern: Object + was/were + past participle of verb + by + Subject Hence, correct passive form will be: “The violin was played by the artist” is the correct answer.
