Correct Answer: I was given an interesting book by my mother.


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 form in the case of the simple past tense is: "Singular object + was + past participle form of the main verb + prepositional phrase."

Therefore, the correct answer is: " I was given an interesting book by my mother ."
