| Passive Voice Structure | |
|---|---|
| Subject (receiver of action): | "A good deal of money" |

| New object (former subject): | "a good deal of money" |
| Option | Analysis |
|---|---|
| Option 1 | Uses present perfect tense ("has made"), which changes the time reference |
| Option 2 | Uses future continuous tense ("will be making"), which changes the aspect |
| Option 3 | Uses present perfect continuous tense ("has been making"), which changes both time and aspect |
| Option 4 | Uses simple future tense ("will make"), which maintains the same time reference as the original |
Therefore, the correct answer is Option 4: "The investment will make a good deal of money."
