​

Answer 1

Here is the correct answer along with explanation:

The cricket match was postponed by the authorities.

Explanation

The verb in the sentence was Simple Past in the active form (postponed). When we convert the active voice of Simple Past into passive voice, we use passive form equivalent to the active form. The active form in Simple past is 'V2' or Simple Past form of the verb. The object is made the subject and vice versa; 'by' is added. The passive form in Simple Past is was/were +V3.

Answer 2

Passive voice:

The cricket match has been postponed by the authorities.

Explanation:

• The active sentence is changed into passive sentence in the given question.
• In the given question, the object "cricket match" is made into subject in passive voice.
• The verb "postponed" is changed into past prefect tense as "has been postponed" in the passive voice.
• The word "by" is used before the object that acts on the subject.
