Explanation

Correct Ans. (4) While changing the voice of a sentence (from active to passive), we are required to interchange the respective positions of the subject and the object, but the tense remains unchanged and ‘third form of the verb’ is used. However, we add auxiliary to indicate the tense used in the original sentence. This is a case of past indefinite tense. The correct answer is ‘’Blankets were distributed among the poor by the rich man”.
