Correct Answer: The cookies were baked on the weekend by Daddy.


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 sentence becomes the subject in the passive voice.

The passive structure in the case of the simple past tense is: Plural s ubject + were + past participle form of the verb + by followed by the agent of the action.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: The cookies were baked on the weekend by Daddy.
