Choose the correct passive construction of the given sentence :-

He gave back my spectacles to me.

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 4

The object 'my spectacles' becomes the subject, the simple past 'gave' becomes 'were given', the particle 'back' is retained, and the agent appears as 'by him'. This yields 'My spectacles were given back to me by him.' Option 1 uses the wrong tense, option 2 drops the agent and 'back', and option 3 remains active.
