Correct Answer: The exhibition was inaugurated by the Governor of the state in a grand way.


Solution : The fourth option is the correct choice.

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 passive voice sentence follows the structure in the case of the simple past tense: "Singular object + was + past participle form of the verb + by followed by the agent of the action."

Therefore, the correct sentence will be: "The exhibition was inaugurated by the governor of the state in a grand way".
