Select the option that expresses the given sentence in passive voice.
Nick won the lottery.

Correct option is A

Option (a) "The lottery was won by Nick" is the correct answer. This option effectively converts the active sentence "Nick won the lottery" into passive voice by making the object of the action (the lottery) the subject of the sentence and using the appropriate past simple passive form.
· Passive Voice Rule: In passive voice, the subject of the sentence is the recipient of the action, not the doer. The structure typically follows the format: Subject + auxiliary verb (be) + past participle + by + agent (optional).
· Conversion from Active to Passive: The active sentence "Nick won the lottery" has Nick as the subject performing the action. In the passive form, "The lottery" becomes the subject that receives the action, and "was won by Nick" follows the rule of forming past simple passive, which uses the auxiliary verb "was" and the past participle "won."
· Example in Passive Voice: "The race was won by the underdog."
