Answer 1

The correct answer is Option 1.

Key Points

Passive voice structure: The object of the active voice sentence becomes the subject of the passive voice sentence.
In the active voice, the sentence is: "Why did your sister write such a letter?"
To convert to passive voice: Place the object "such a letter" at the beginning.
Change the active verb form "did write" to "was written" (past simple passive).
Add the preposition "by" followed by the original subject "your sister."
Ensure the question structure is maintained.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 1.

Correct Sentence: "Why was such a letter written by your sister?"

Additional Information

Option 2: "Why is such a letter being written by your sister?" – Incorrect tense (present continuous passive).
Option 3: "Why has your sister written such a letter?" – This is in present perfect tense, not passive voice.
Option 4: "Why did your sister wrote this letter?" – This is grammatically incorrect and in active voice.
