Options:

She was given a warning about coming late to school every day by the Principal.

She has given a warning by the Principal about coming late to school every day.

She gives a warning to the Principal about coming late to school every day.

She was giving a warning by the Principal about coming late to school every day.

Correct Answer:

She was given a warning about coming late to school every day by the Principal.

Explanation:

The correct passive form of the sentence "The Principal gave her a warning about coming late to school every day" is She was given a warning about coming late to school every day by the Principal.

The other options are incorrect because:

  • She has given a warning by the Principal about coming late to school every day uses the present perfect tense, while the original sentence is in the simple past tense.
  • She gives a warning to the Principal about coming late to school every day is in the active voice, not the passive voice.
  • She was giving a warning by the Principal about coming late to school every day uses the past progressive tense, while the original sentence is in the simple past tense.
