Option 4: The new software was installed by Myra on her computer.
Correct Answer: The new software was installed by Myra on her computer.
Solution : The fourth option is the correct answer.
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 + prepositional phrase ."
The only option that follows all the rules is: " The new software was installed by Myra on her computer. "
