Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 3, i.e., A congratulatory letter was written by Teenu.

 

Meaning/Concept:
This question tests voice transformation. Passive voice means the object of the active sentence becomes the subject of the passive sentence.

Explanation:
The active sentence is in simple past tense (“wrote”), so the passive form must also use was/were + past participle.

Active: Teenu wrote a congratulatory letter.

Passive: A congratulatory letter was written by Teenu.

Example/Usage:

Active: She baked a cake.

Passive: A cake was baked by her.

Conclusion:
The correct passive voice is “A congratulatory letter was written by Teenu.”
