The correct passive form of the sentence "We made her recite a poem" is "she was made to recite a poem." Here's the explanation of why this is the correct choice, and why the other options are incorrect:

• Correct Answer: "she was made to recite a poem"
  In the passive voice, we change the object of the active sentence to the subject of the passive sentence. In the active voice, "her" is the object (the person being made to do something), and "recite a poem" is the action. The passive form involves making "her" (the object) the subject of the sentence. We also need to add "to" after "made" in this structure, because "made" in causative constructions requires "to" when used with an infinitive verb. This gives us the correct passive sentence: "She was made to recite a poem."

• Why the other options are incorrect:

  • Option (ক): "a poem was made recite by her"
    This is incorrect because the subject of the passive sentence should be the person who was made to do the action (in this case, "her"), not the object ("a poem"). Additionally, "recite" is in the wrong form. It should be in the infinitive form ("to recite") after "made."

  • Option (গ): "she was made recited a poem"
    This is incorrect because "recited" is the wrong tense. "Recited" is the past tense, but the causative "made" requires the base form of the verb after it (i.e., "recite").

  • Option (ঘ): "a poem was made to recited"
    This is incorrect because "recited" is again in the wrong form. After "to," the verb should be in its base form, i.e., "recite," not "recited."

In summary, the correct passive form is: "She was made to recite a poem."
