Option 4: His best friend was being called up by the little boy on his birthday.
Correct Answer: His best friend was called up by the little boy on his birthday.
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 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 + prepositional phrase."
Therefore, the sentence in the passive form is: "His best friend was called up by the little boy on his birthday."
