How was it managed by them?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
How did they manage it?
Explanation:
- How did they manage it?: This active construction correctly maintains the original meaning and word order while forming the question in the active voice.
- How have they managed it?: This active construction changes the tense to present perfect, which may not accurately match the original sentence's tense.
- Did they manage it?: This active construction is a direct question in the past tense, which may not accurately capture the exact meaning of the original sentence.
- Was it managed by them?: This passive construction reverses the word order and forms the passive voice, but it doesn't maintain the original phrasing and tone of the question.
