Answer | 4 |

c | The Declaration has been signed by the Congress on July 4 in 1776. |
d | The Declaration was signed by the Congress on July 4 in 1776. |
comment | In this sentence the action took place at a certain time in the past, so we use the Past Simple Passive: was/were + Past Participle. Answer 2 is illogical because the Declaration cannot be the doer of an action. |
