Team Careers360 · Accepted Answer

Correct Answer: A plumber was called to replace the rusted pipes.

Solution : The correct choice is the second option.

Passive voice is the voice in which the object experiences an action rather than the person who performs the action. Hence, the object in the active voice becomes the subject in the passive voice. In the passive voice, the focus shifts to the plumber, who receives the action.

The structure of the passive sentence in the case of the simple past tense is: "Object + was + past participle form of the main verb + prepositional phrase."

Therefore, the correct passive form is: A plumber was called to replace the rusted pipes.
