अचूक उत्तर: पर्याय (4)
The correct answer is "The novel is read by my mother.".
Explanation & Key Takeaways:
• Move the object ("The novel") to the start of the sentence, it becomes the new subject.
• Adjust the verb to reflect the passive voice. Since "reads" is in the simple present tense, in the passive voice it becomes "is read".
• Add "by" followed by the original subject ("my mother").
• The final sentence we have is "The novel (subject) is read (verb) by my mother."
Therefore, the correct answer is "option 4".
