Correct Answer: Only a few students passed the test.


Solution : The correct choice is the first option .

Active voice emphasises the doer of the action, while passive voice emphasises the receiver. To convert active to passive, we make the subject perform the action and rephrase the verb.

The structure of the active sentence in the case of the simple past tense is: "Subject + past form of the verb + plural object."

Therefore, the correct sentence is: " Only a few students passed the test ."
