Dear teachers,

Please check out the following sentence: "The computer sents a driving signal to that device."

Now I rewrite it as follows in a passive form:
(a) A driving signal is sent by the computer to that device.
(b) A driving signal is sent to that device by the computer.
(c) A driving signal is sent from the computer to that device.

I wonder which sentence is the best adaptation of the original one. Please give me your suggestions. Thanks in advance.

Well..all three are correct.....but I think the simplest one is number one.

Hope this helps
