The correct answer is Option 2).

Key Points

  • In the sentence, the active voice is changed to the passive voice.
  • The object of the active voice (others) becomes the subject in the passive voice.
  • The verb form changes to include the appropriate form of 'to be' (here, 'to be respected'). As it is an infinitive statement.
  • The subject of the active voice (Everybody) becomes the object in the passive voice.
  • Hence, the transformation is done correctly in option 2.

Hence, the correct statement is 'Everybody wants to be respected by others.'

Additional Information

  • The passive voice is used to emphasize the action rather than the doer.
  • In the passive voice, the focus is on the recipient of the action.
  • Example:
    • Active: "I have to do this work."
    • Passive: "This work has to be done."
