Select the sentence that correctly changes the active sentence into passive voice: "The manager made the employees work overtime."
The employees were made to work overtime by the manager.
When the causative verb "made" (in the sense of compelling someone) is changed from active to passive voice, the bare infinitive "work" in the active sentence becomes the full infinitive "to work" in the passive sentence.
Since the active verb "made" is in the simple past tense, the passive form uses "were made," giving "The employees were made to work overtime by the manager."
The other options either omit the required "to" before the infinitive or use an incorrect verb form.
Therefore, the correct passive voice sentence is "The employees were made to work overtime by the manager."
