Correct Answer: She was fired by them because she was careless.


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 passive structure in the case of the simple past tense is: Singular object + was + past participle form of the verb + by followed by the agent of the action.

Therefore, the correct passive form would be: " She was fired by them because she was careless."
