Correct Answer: A lot of new servers were hired by the new owners.


Solution : The correct choice will be the first option .

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.

The structure of the passive voice in the case of the simple past tense is: "Plural Object + were + past participle of the main verb + by followed by the agent of the action."

Therefore, the correct sentence will be: A lot of new servers were hired by the new owners.
