Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. The important files are quickly picked out by Nargis from her office shelf.
To change a sentence from active voice to passive voice, we usually switch the subject and the object of the sentence. The subject becomes the receiver of the action, and the object becomes the subject of the action. For example, in active voice, "Nargis quickly picks out the important files from her office shelf." can be changed to passive voice as "The important files are quickly picked out by Nargis from her office shelf." This way, the focus shifts from the subject to the object of the action.
As the chosen option expresses the correct passive voice of the given sentence, it will be correct.
