Correct Answer: Thousands of people were airlifted from Ukraine by the Indian army.
Solution : The correct choice is the fourth 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.
The passive voice sentence in the simple past tense follows the structure: Plural object + were + past participle form of the verb + by followed by the agent of the action.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: Thousands of people were airlifted from Ukraine by the Indian army.
