    E None of the above Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Explanation: In the active voice, the verb is in the past simple tense ("rejected"). In the passive voice, the object of the sentence ("the proposal") becomes the subject, and the verb changes to "was rejected" to maintain the past simple tense. The phrase "by the manager" indicates the doer of the action. The proposal was rejected by the manager due to budget constraints.
