Rules for changing Active form to Passive from:
- Simply exchange the places of the subject and the object. The subject should become the object and vice-versa while changing a sentence from Active to Passive voice or reverse.
- Now, the given sentence is an imperative sentence. In sentences which express request, advice and order, such phrases as, You are requested to/advised to /ordered to are used.
- Here, 'not' will be changed into 'No' and will be the subject.
- As the sentence is an imperative sentence, the verb 'touch' will be changed into 'should be touched'.
The passive form will be: No items displayed on glass shelves should be touched.
Hence, the correct answer is Option 3 i.e. No items displayed on glass shelves should be touched.
