Choose the correct passive voice for the active sentence: ‘She cut the cake with a knife.’

Explanation

When a sentence specifies the tool or instrument used to perform an action, rather than the actual doer, the preposition ‘with’ is used instead of ‘by’ in the passive voice, giving ‘was cut with a knife.’ The word ‘by’ is reserved specifically for identifying the doer of the action, which in this case would be ‘her,’ the person who did the cutting.
