Correct Answer: Responsibility for the bomb attack was not owned by anyone immediately.


Solution : The correct choice is the second option.

The 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 a passive sentence in case of the simple past tense is: "Object + was + not + past participle of the main verb + by + agent of the action."

Therefore, the passive voice would be: "Responsibility for the bomb attack was not owned by anyone immediately."
