Correct Answer: Various literary works were submitted by each member of the literary club for the magazine.
Solution : The correct choice is the third 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: "Plural object + were + past participle form of the main verb + 'by' followed by the agent of the action."
Therefore, the right answer is: "Various literary works were submitted by each member of the literary club for the magazine."
