We sent a currant loaf with 'Happy Sisters' Day' written on it.

A currant loaf was sent to us by my sister with 'Happy Sisters' Day' written on it.

A currant loaf has been sent to us by my sister with 'Happy Sisters' Day' written on it.

Correct Answer:

A currant loaf was sent to us by my sister with 'Happy Sisters' Day' written on it.

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) - A currant loaf was sent to us by my sister with 'Happy Sisters' Day' written on it.

When converting active voice with two objects (like “sent us a loaf”), we typically make the direct object the subject of the passive sentence.

Structure:
Direct object + was/were + past participle + by + subject

 Correct Passive:

A currant loaf was sent to us by my sister with 'Happy Sisters' Day' written on it.

This matches:

  • Tense: past simple ➝ was sent

  • Correct structure: passive voice

  • Meaning preserved: the loaf was sent to us
