Correct Answer: A new car can be afforded by him now.


Solution : The first option is the correct choice.

Passive voice is the voice in which the object experiences an action rather than the person who performs the action. Hence, the object in the active sentence becomes the subject in the passive voice.

The structure of the passive sentence is: " Object + can + be + past participle form of the main verb + by + agent of action + additional information."

Therefore, the correct passive form is: A new car can be afforded by him now .
