Correct Answer: He was told to go away by the police.


Solution : The correct choice is the third 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 voice becomes the subject in the passive voice.

The structure of the passive sentence in the simple past tense is: object + was + past participle form of the main verb + additional information + by + agent of action .

Therefore, the sentence in the passive voice is: He was told to go away by the police.
