Option 1: The candles on the cake were blew by her.
Option 2: The candles on the cake were blown by her.
Option 3: The candles on the cake were being blown by her.
Option 4: The candles on the cake is blown by her.
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.
