AfterBoards · Accepted Answer

The correct passive voice form is 'The enemy was compelled to surrender by us'. This correctly changes the active voice sentence into passive, maintaining proper tense and subject-object inversion. The other sentences either maintain active voice, use the wrong tense, or are grammatically incorrect.
