Correct Answer: English literature is taught to us by your mother.


Solution : The correct choice is the first 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 sentence becomes the subject in the passive voice.

The structure of the passive sentence in the case of the simple present tense is: "Singular subject + is + past participle form of the verb + prepositional phrase."

Therefore, the correct sentence will be: "English literature is taught to us by your mother."
