Choose the correct passive voice for the active sentence: ‘They let him enter the building.’

Explanation

The verb ‘let’ does not have a natural or standard passive form of its own, since ‘was let to enter’ is not considered correct or natural English. Instead, the passive equivalent of a sentence using ‘let’ for permission is formed using ‘was/were allowed to,’ giving ‘He was allowed to enter the building,’ a well-known exception frequently tested in passive voice questions.
