Correct Answer: Molly and her family were rescued by a lifeguard.
Solution : The first option is correct.
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: " Plural object + were + past participle form of the main verb + 'by' followed by the agent of the action. "
Therefore, the sentence in passive voice is: " Molly and her family were rescued by a lifeguard. "
