The correct answer is Option (2) - This short story was written by Manto.

 

  • The original sentence is in the active voice: "Manto wrote this short story."
  • In the passive voice, the object of the active sentence ("this short story") becomes the subject of the passive sentence. The verb is changed to the appropriate passive form: "was written."
  • Therefore, the correct transformation is: "This short story was written by Manto."
