Correct Answer: All the rose bushes were pruned by the gardener.
Solution : The correct choice is the second 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 simple past tense in the passive form is: "object + were + past participle form of the main verb + by + agent of the action."
Therefore, the correct answer would be: " All the rose bushes were pruned by the gardener."
