      passive voice. The teacher praised the students for their hard work.
      A The students were praised by the teacher for their hard work Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B The teacher was praised by the students for their hard work Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C The students have been praised by the teacher for their hard work Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D The teacher praises the students for their hard work Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Option (a) expresses the given sentence in passive voice. The passive voice is formed by using a form of the auxiliary verb “be” (be, am, is, are, was, were, being, been) followed by the past participle of the main verb. Although not always the case, the passive voice is typically marked with “by” before the performer of the action in a sentence. In passive voice the object becomes the subject.
