Correct Answer: The meeting was disturbed by an agitated gathering of workers in the company.


Solution : The correct choice is the third option.

Passive voice is a construction where the subject of the sentence undergoes the action rather than performing it. The focus is on the receiver of the action rather than the doer.

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

Therefore, the passive voice construction is: The meeting was disturbed by an agitated gathering of workers in the company.
