People believe him to be the culprit. 

  • A.Him is believed to be the culprit by the people
  • B.He is believed to be the culprit.
  • C.He is believed to be the culprit by the people.
  • D.He to be the culprit is believed by the people.

Answer: C

Correct answer: He is believed to be the culprit by the people.

The object of believe becomes the subject of the passive, so him becomes he, and the infinitive to be the culprit is untouched. Dropping the agent, as the second option does, loses people, which the sentence names.
