Correct Answer: The boys are taught by Mr. Hamel.
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 present tense is: "Plural object + are + participle form of the verb + 'by' followed by the agent of the action."
Therefore, the right answer is: "The boys are taught by Mr. Hamel."
