Correct Answer: Mira might have been delayed by the snow-storm.


Solution : The correct choice is the first 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 passive structure with respect to the mentioned sentence is: "Singular object + might + have been + past participle form of the verb + by followed by the agent of the action."

Therefore, the passive sentence would be: "Mira might have been delayed by the snowstorm."
