-
To convert the sentence to passive voice, use "were" (past tense) and the past participle "submitted." This accurately reflects the original past action and maintains grammatical correctness.
The other options are incorrect because:-
-
"Had been submitted": This uses the past perfect tense, which is not appropriate for the simple past action described.
-
"Are submitted": This is present tense, which does not match the past tense of the original sentence.
-
"Were being submitted": This uses past continuous tense, suggesting an ongoing action, whereas the original action was completed.
