Correct Answer: The scholar had been regarded as a usurper by the French.
Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option.
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 sentence becomes the subject in the passive voice.
The structure of the passive voice in the case of the past perfect tense is: "Singular object + had + been + past participle of the main verb + adverbial phrase + by followed by the agent of the action."
Therefore, the right answer is: "The scholar had been regarded as a usurper by the French."
