Correct Answer: 229 villages in Assam were affected by the floods.


Solution : The correct answer is the fourth option.

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

Passive Voice Structure in the case of the simple past tense : Singular Subject + auxiliary verb + past participle of the main verb + by + agent of the action.

Therefore, the correct answer is: 229 villages in Assam were affected by the floods.
