correct answer : a)
Explanation:
The given sentence is in active voice. To change from active to passive voice, make the active sentence’s object the passive sentence’s subject. So, “four hundred engineers” (object) becomes the subject of the passive sentence. The main verb changes to its past participle form (V3); so “has recruited” becomes “have been recruited” (“have been” + past participle of the verb). This is because the subject is plural, so we use “have” instead of “has”. We often add “by” before the agent of the action (“them”). Similarly, “will have to complete” becomes “will have to be completed”. The correct sentence is: Four hundred engineers have been recruited by the company and an internship of three weeks will have to be completed by them.
