The correct answer is 'Option 2' i.e. 'voice was'.
 
 Key Points
  • The error in the sentence is the use of 'has' with 'hoarse'.
  • The correct form should be 'was' as the situation refers to a past event.
Therefore, the corrected sentence should read: "After the concert, his voice was hoarse from cheering."
Additional Information 
  • 'Voiced was' is not correct because 'voiced' is not the right word to use in this context. 'Voice' should be used instead.
  • 'Voice were' is incorrect because 'voice' is a singular noun and so it should be paired with 'was' not 'were'.
