Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
Conversion from active to passive voice:
Identify the Tense: The original sentence "He wrote the letter" is in the Simple Past tense (verb: "wrote").
Move the Object: The object "the letter" becomes the new subject.
Apply the Passive Formula: For the Simple Past, the formula is: was/were + past participle (V3).
Since "the letter" is singular, we use was.
The past participle of "write" is written.
Add the Agent: Use the preposition "by" followed by the original subject turned into an object pronoun ("he" becomes him).
Passive voice: The letter was written by him.
