Correct Answer: The mishap at LG Polymers was caused by the negligence of the plant manager.
Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option.
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 simple past tense in the passive form is: "Object + was + past participle of the main verb + by + agent of the action."
Therefore, the correct passive form would be: "The mishap at LG Polymers was caused by the negligence of the plant manager."
