(c) He is given many prizes by the school.

(d) He has given many prizes by the school.​

Answer 1

The sentence can be changed into passive voice as follows:

(a) He was given many prizes by the school.

• Option (a) is the correct option because the tense of the sentence is kept the same when changing an active voice sentence to a passive voice.
• The sentence in the question is in the past tense hence the passive voice should also be in the past tense.
• Option b is not correct as it is in the past perfect tense.
• Option (c) is not correct as it is grammatically incorrect.
• Option (d) is not correct as it is in the present perfect tense.
