Choose the correct passive voice for the active sentence: ‘Someone stole my bicycle.’

Explanation

When the doer of an action in the active sentence is unknown or unimportant, as with the vague subject ‘someone,’ the ‘by + agent’ phrase is typically dropped entirely in the passive voice, giving the more natural ‘My bicycle was stolen.’ Including ‘by someone’ in the passive version would be grammatically possible but is unnecessary and rarely used in natural English.
