The child was wrapped in a poor man's coarse woolen cloth by them.

In the above question, we have been asked to change the sentence in the active voice to a sentence in the passive voice.

While changing the voice of a sentence the following points are to be kept in mind-

• Usually while changing sentences from active to passive voice, the word 'by' is added.
• It is added at the end of the statement right before the subject.
• The subject is usually placed at the end.
• In certain cases, it is not mandatory to mention the subject at the end.
• It can be omitted when the subject can be easily guessed or assumed.
