Correct Answer: Had the exam not been cleared by them?


Solution : The correct choice is the fourth 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 passive voice in the case of the interrogative past perfect tense is: "Interrogative word + object + been + past participle form of the verb + "by" followed by the agent of the action?"

Therefore, the correct sentence will be: " Had the exam not been cleared by them?"
