This gets confusing because there are three different verbs with the same meaning:
wake/woke/
woken
awake/awoke or awaked/
awaked or awoken
awaken/awakened/
awakened
To form the passive voice, one uses [to be +
past participle].
One can take one's choice of the past participles (in red).
Personally, I would use "awakened".
