Correct Answer: Sugar is sweet when it is tasted.


Solution : The correct answer is the second option.

The conversion of the sentence from the active voice to the passive voice of verbs followed by adjectives requires the following steps:

Syntax: Sub + verb + adjective + when + pronoun + Helping verb + past participle of the main verb.

Example:

Rose smells sweet. (Active)
Rose is sweet when it is smelt. (Passive)
Quinine tastes bitter. (Active)
Quinine is bitter when it is tasted. (Passive)

Therefore, the correct answer is Sugar is sweet when it is tasted.
