Correct Answer: Some urgent help was needed by his brother at that moment.


Solution : The correct choice 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 sentence becomes the subject in the passive voice.

The structure of the passive voice in the case of the simple past tense is: "Singular object + was + past participle form of the verb + 'by' agent of the action + prepositional phrase."

Therefore, the right answer is: "Some urgent help was needed by his brother at that moment."
