Correct Answer: Stephen was verbally insulted by Rohan in front of his parents.


Solution : The third 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.

The structure of the passive voice in the case of the simple past tense is: " Singular object + was + past participle form of the verb + 'by' followed by the agent of action + prepositional phrase."

Therefore, the correct sentence is: "Stephen was verbally insulted by Rohan in front of his parents."
