The clouds hid the sun.

Options:

The sun was hidden by the clouds.

The sun is hidden by the clouds.

The clouds are hid by the sun.

The sun was hide by the clouds.

Correct Answer:

The sun was hidden by the clouds.

Explanation:

The other options are incorrect because:

  • The sun is hidden by the clouds uses the present tense, while the original sentence is in the simple past tense.
  • The clouds are hid by the sun is grammatically incorrect. The verb "hid" is in the past tense, but it is not used correctly in the passive voice.
