Correct Answer: The work was decided to be skipped by Mike.
Solution : The correct option 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 the passive voice in the case of the simple past tense is: " Singular object + was + past participle form of the verb + prepositional phrase + 'by' followed by the agent of the action."
Therefore, the required passive sentence is: "The work was decided to be skipped by Mike."
