Correct Answer: The new employee was hired by the director after the interview.
Solution : The correct choice is the second 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 passive voice in the case of the simple past tense is: "Singular object + was + past participle form of verb + by followed by the agent of action."
Therefore, the correct sentence would be: "The new employee was hired by the director after the interview."
