Answer 1

Answer: (B)

was towed

The verb in the given sentence is 'tow'. In the passive voice, the past participle form of the verb (towed) is used. The word, 'yesterday' tells us that the sentence is in simple past tense. The simple past tense form of the verb in passive voice is 'was towed'. Hence, option B is correct.

Option A is incorrect as 'has been towed' is the present perfect form of the verb in passive voice.

Option C is incorrect as 'was being towed' is the past continuous form of the verb in passive voice.

Option D is incorrect as the verb, 'has towed' is in the active voice.
