1. We must respect the elders.

Answer: B

Explanation: Option ‘B’ (The elders must be respected.). The subject of active voice generally becomes the object of the sentence in passive voice, but when the subject is referring to all people (not any specific persons) we do not need to mention it in the passive. In the given sentence the subject WE is referring to all people.

2. I did not trust anybody.

Answer: A

Explanation: Option ‘A’ (Nobody was trusted by me.). Option ‘C’ is incorrect as ANYBODY can’t be the subject of a negative sentence. It can be used as a subject of only interrogative and affirmative sentences.

3. Who painted it?

Answer: D

4. When he arrived home a detective arrested him.

Answer: C

Explanation: Option ‘C’ (When he arrived home he was arrested.). The agent A DETECTIVE need not be mentioned.

5. Rome was not built in a day.

Answer: A

Explanation: Option ‘A’ (They did not build Rome in a day.). ROME WAS NOT BUILT IN A DAY is a proverb which is said to emphasize that you cannot expect to do important things in a short period of time. Therefore ROMANS have no role to play in it, it’s just a proverb. So you can’t use ROMANS as the subject in the active voice. THEY is correct, it’s also used in a vague sense.

6. When their mother was ill neighbours looked after the children.

Answer: A

7. What makes these holes?

Answer: A

Explanation: Option ‘A’ (By what are these holes made?). The sentences in the active voice is interrogative, so in passive also the sentence must be interrogative. In an interrogative sentence, you know, the left part of the helping verb comes before the subject. So ARE will precede the subject THESE HOLES.

8. Tiny houses dot the landscape.

Answer: C

Explanation: Option ‘C’ (The landscape is dotted by tiny houses.). The verb is in the simple present tense. Three forms of the verb DOT are DOT, DOTTED, DOTTED.

9. Smoke filled the room.

Answer: C

Explanation: Option ‘C’ (The room was filled with smoke.). SMOKE is a kind of material; not the performer of the action. So you can’t use BY.

10. We must write to him.

Answer: C

Explanation: Option ‘C’ (He must be written to.). When a VERB + PREPOSITION + OBJECT combination is put into the passive, the preposition will remain immediately after the verb. In the given sentence MUST WRITE + TO + HIM is such a combination.
