Option 2: Susan is told to give up smoking by Uma.
Option 3: Susan has been told to give up smoking by Uma.
Option 4: Susan had been told to give up smoking by Uma.
Correct Answer: Susan was told to give up smoking by Uma.
Solution : The right option 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 voice becomes the subject in the passive voice.
The structure of the sentence in the passive voice is: object + was + past participle form of the main verb + infinitive phrase + by + agent of action.
Therefore, the passive form of the sentence is: Susan was told to give up smoking by Uma.
