Correct Answer: The meeting was cancelled due to bad weather.
Solution : The second option is the correct choice.
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 voice becomes the subject in the passive voice.
The structure of the passive sentence in the case of the past continuous tense is: "Singular object + was + past participle form of the main verb + prepositional phrase."
Therefore, the correct sentence is: The meeting was cancelled due to bad weather.
