Correct Answer: He likes to be flattered by people.


Solution : The first option is correct.

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 voice becomes the subject in the passive voice. In this case, the "he" will remain the subject, and the "people" will become the object, as they are receiving the action.

The structure of the sentence in the passive voice is object + verb + to be + past participle form of the verb + by + subject.

Therefore, the sentence in the passive voice is: H e likes to be flattered by people .
