The peon / was brought / a cup of / coffee for Naina.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. was brought.
The sentence conveys that the peon carried out the action of bringing a cup of coffee, and the coffee was intended for Naina.
It is a general statement, so it must be in the simple past tense and in the active voice.
Thus, "was brought" should be replaced with "brought".
The correct sentence should be: The peon brought a cup of coffee for Naina.
