In 1962, the story of Helen Keller's life ____ into a film , The Miracle Worker .

The correct answer is:

**2. was made**

The complete sentence is: "In 1962, the story of Helen Keller's life **was made** into a film, *The Miracle Worker*."

Here's why:

- The sentence is in the past tense, referring to a specific event that happened in 1962.
- "Was made" is the correct past passive form, indicating that the film was created or produced at that time.

The other options are incorrect because:
- "Made" (Option 1) is in the active voice, but the subject ("the story of Helen Keller's life") is not the one doing the making.
- "Makes" (Option 3) is present tense, which doesn't fit with the past time frame given by "In 1962."
- "Has been made" (Option 4) is present perfect tense, which would be used if the action occurred at some unspecified time in the past, but not when a specific time (1962) is mentioned.
