AnswerClick to flip back
A
The preparations had been finished by the time the delegates arrived.
💡 Explanation:
The original sentence uses past perfect tense 'had finished'. In passive voice, the object becomes the subject and we use 'had been' + past participle. 'The preparations had been finished' correctly transforms the sentence while maintaining the past perfect tense structure.
