Correct Answer: The candles on the cake were blown by her.


Solution : The correct choice is the second option .

To transform this sentence into passive voice, the object becomes the subject, the subject becomes the agent (introduced by "by"), and the verb changes to its past participle form blown .

The structure of the passive voice in the simple past tense is: Object + were + past participle of the verb + by + agent of action.

Therefore, the passive statement would be: The candles on the cake were blown by her.
