Correct Answer: (1)
Solution : The correct choice is the first option .
Explanation: The sentence is in the passive voice,(the voice in which the object experiences an action rather than the person that acts).
The structure for a passive sentence is: "Object + form of the be verb (in the corresponding tense) + past participle of the main verb followed by the agent of the action."
So, the correct sentence would be: "The meeting was adjourned abruptly by the chairperson after about an hour of intense deliberation."
