Myra installed the new software on her computer.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. The new software was installed by Myra on her computer.

  • In the active voice sentence, "Myra" is the subject performing the action ("installed").
  • In the passive voice sentence, "The new software" (the object in the active voice) becomes the subject. "Was installed" is the passive form of "installed."
  • "By Myra" indicates who performed the action, though it's optional depending on whether the focus is on the action or the doer.
