Solution

The correct option is B was written

An action in a sentence can be represented in two ways, namely active and passive voice.

The passive voice always uses the past participle form of the main verb irrespective of any tense. Only the auxiliary verbs depend upon the sentence given in active voice.


The correct answer is B)was written as the previous sentence indicates simple past tense. (passive)

Options A, C, and D are not correct as the sentence is in the passive voice, is not in the simple present tense and 'book' represents a singular noun respectively.

The book, Gone With the Wind, was written by Margaret Mitchell.
