Answer : 2. "He was laughed at by all his friends."
Explanation :
The given sentence is in Active Voice. As per the given question we have to change it into Passive Voice.
The structure of the given sentence as follows:
Subject + V2+ Object. (Active Voice)
Subject (objective case)+ was/were + V3 + Object (subjective case). (Passive Voice)
Example:
Their cousin showed them some rare photographs. (Active Voice)
They were shown some rare photographs by their cousin. (Passive Voice).
The subject of the given sentence is 'All his friends'.
The object of the given sentence is 'him'.
The subject will be put in place of the object and the object will be put in place of the subject.
And 'laughed' will be changed into 'was laughed'. Lastly, the 'by' preposition will be added.
Therefore, as per the points mentioned above, we find that the correct answer is Option 2.
