SOLUTION
The correct solution is option 3.
Explanation
We need to follow these instructions while changing the voice of an assertive sentence.
- When changing from active voice to passive voice, we need to first identify the subject and object of the sentence and interchange them.
- Then identify the tense of the sentence and in the passive form use the same tense. The given sentence is in the past tense so helping verb in the passive form will have ‘was/were'.
- The verb in the passive form must be the past participle of the verb.
- ‘by’ is used before the object/ doer of the action.
- Here, 'Many prizes’ is the subject and 'Him' is the object so they are interchanged.
- As it is in the past tense the verb must be ‘was given’ where ‘given’ is the past participle of the verb ‘give'.
- Tense remains the same when you change the voice.
Following these steps, we finally get – “He was given many prizes by the school​”.
