Choose the most appropriate passive construction for the sentence given below.

Everyone knows the facts of the case very well.

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 1

In the passive, the object 'the facts of the case' becomes the subject with the plural verb 'are'. With verbs like 'know', the agent 'by everyone' is normally dropped: 'The facts of the case are very well known.' Option 4 fails subject-verb agreement ('is' with plural 'facts'), and options 2 and 3 are not proper passive constructions.
