Correct Answer: The horse was frightened by a sudden noise.


Solution : The second option is the correct choice.

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 sentence in the simple past tense is: Singular object + was + past participle form of the verb + by followed by the agent of the action .

Therefore, the correct sentence is: The horse was frightened by a sudden noise .
