Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. The marble was rolled through a small plastic pipe by Robin.

 

To express the given sentence in passive voice, we need to follow these rules:

  1. The object of the active sentence becomes the subject of the passive sentence.
  2. The verb in the passive sentence is always preceded by some form of the auxiliary verb "to be" (e.g., is, are, was, were, has been, have been, had been, will be, etc.).
  3. The past participle form of the main verb is used in the passive voice.

Using these rules, we can transform the given sentence into passive voice as follows:

Active voice: Robin rolled the marble through a small plastic pipe.

Passive voice: The marble was rolled through a small plastic pipe by Robin.
