Correct Answer: A lot of coffee was drunk by him before the marathon.
Solution : The first option is the correct answer.
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 voice becomes the subject in the passive voice.
The structure of the passive sentence in the simple past tense is: Object + was + past participle form of the main verb + by + agent of action + prepositional phrase.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: A lot of coffee was drunk by him before the marathon.
