Choose the correct impersonal passive construction for: ‘People say that he is honest.’

Explanation

When reporting a general belief or opinion held by people in general, English commonly uses an impersonal passive construction beginning with ‘It is said that…,’ avoiding the vague subject ‘people.’ An alternative correct form of this same sentence would be ‘He is said to be honest,’ both of which shift the focus away from an unspecified group of people.
