Correct Answer: I was given a scholarship by the institute.
Solution : The correct choice is the third option.
Explanation:
Passive voice is a grammatical construction in which the subject of a sentence is the receiver of the action rather than the doer of the action.
- Identify the subject and object: Subject (doer of the action): The institute, Object (receiver of the action): me
- Change the positions of subject and object: New subject: I, New object: a scholarship
- Use the appropriate form of the verb "to be" and the past participle of the main verb: "was given" (past tense of "to be" + past participle of "give")
The structure of the passive voice is as follows: Subject (I) was/were + past participle (given) + object (a scholarship) + agent (the institute).
Therefore, the correct passive form would be: I was given a scholarship by the institute.
