Correct Answer: Young minds are influenced by the speech of Dr. A. P. J. Abdul Kalam.


Solution : The correct choice is the third 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 sentence is: "Object + auxiliary verb + past participle of the main verb + by preposition followed by the prepositional phrase."

So, the correct sentence would be: " Young minds are influenced by the speech of Dr. A. P. J. Abdul Kalam. "
