ii) A snake was killed by Gopal.

Explanation:

• In English grammar, voice alludes to a grammatical category that plays a vital role in the grammatical voice construction with the verbs.

• While in the case of active voice, the subject holds the importance by doing the action, in the passive voice the action performed by the subject receives the importance.

• The passive or inactive voice is less common, in which the subject/doer carries the action of the verb.

The given active voiced sentence can be converted into a passive or less active voice by following the following rule:-

• Subject→ auxiliary verb be→ main verb (past participle form)→ by+ agent(optional)

• i) My friend (Subject) will be (auxiliary verb be) helped (past participle) by me. (here adding an agent is optional).

• ii) A snake (Subject) was (a correct form of the auxiliary verb "be") killed (past participle) by Gopal (agent).

Therefore the correct passive voiced sentences are-

i) My friend will be helped. (by me).

ii) A snake was killed by Gopal.
