Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. was written
Error Concept: Wrong verb form used in passive voice.
What is wrong: The sentence 'The report has written by the analyst' is incorrect because 'has written' is active voice, but the sentence requires a passive structure.
Grammatical Concept: In passive voice, we use 'was/were + past participle' when the action happened in the past.
Incorrectness of the concept in context: The subject 'report' receives the action, so passive form 'was written' should be used.
Correction: Replace 'has written' with 'was written'.
Correct phrase: was written
Final sentence: The report was written by the analyst.
Hence, the chosen option is correct.
