The correct answer is Option 4.
 
Key Points
  • Passive voice structure: The object of the active voice sentence becomes the subject of the passive voice sentence.
  • In the active voice, the sentence is: "Ritika closed the box quickly."
  • To convert to passive voice: Place the object "the box" at the beginning.
  • Change the active verb form "closed" to "was closed" (past simple passive).
  • Add the preposition "by" followed by the original subject "Ritika."
  • Ensure the adverb "quickly" is placed appropriately for clarity.
Therefore, the correct answer is Option 4.
 
Correct Sentence: "The box was closed by Ritika quickly."

  • Option 2: "The box had closed quickly by Ritika." – Incorrect structure and tense.
