Correct Answer: He was sent a cheque for a hundred euros as his remuneration by someone.


Solution : The first option is the correct answer.

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 main verb + 'by' followed by the agent of the action."

Therefore, the correct answer is: He was sent a cheque for a hundred euros as his remuneration by someone.
