Correct Answer: A large number of trees were uprooted by the storm yesterday.
Solution : The correct choice is the fourth 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: "Plural object + were + past participle form of the verb + 'by' followed by the agent of the action."
Therefore, the correct sentence is: "A large number of trees were uprooted by the storm yesterday."
