Correct option is B
Option (b) contains an error.
The phrase “that were to do” is grammatically incorrect.
It should be:
“that were to be done around the house.”
“to be done” is the correct passive form needed here, as the jobs are to be done
by someone, not doing themselves.
Grammatical rule used:
Use of
Passive Infinitive — "to + be + past participle" for actions performed by an unspecified agent.
Example:
Correct: All the tasks are
to be completed by Friday.
Incorrect: All the tasks are
to complete by Friday.
Information Booster:
In passive structures, verbs requiring an agent (doer) should use the passive infinitive form.
