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.
The structure of the passive sentence in the past perfect tense is, object + had been + past participle form of the verb + by + subject + additional information .
Therefore, the correct answer is: Uncle Ken had been given a good lecture by Granny on how to be a responsible adult .
