The correct answer is 'Why was this scene created by you?'
Explanation & Key Takeaways:
• In the passive voice, the object of the sentence becomes the subject while the subject becomes the object or is dropped from the sentence.
• So in this instance, 'this scene' (the object of the active sentence) becomes the subject of the passive sentence.
• 'You' (the subject of the active sentence), becomes the object, moved to the end of the sentence.
• The passive sentence still preserves the past simple tense from the active sentence, but instead of 'did create', we use 'was created' to indicate this.
• 'Did' is changed to 'was' and the base form of the verb 'create' is changed into the past participle 'created'.
• To form a question, 'Why' and 'was' are swapped.
• Thus, 'Why did you create this scene?' converts to 'Why was this scene created by you?' in the passive voice.
Therefore, the correct answer is 'Option 3'.
