Answer

The image contains an English grammar exercise, not a mathematical problem. The task is to change sentences from active to passive voice. Here’s how you can approach it:

Answer: Here are the passive voice conversions for some sentences:

  1. Chocolates are liked by her.
  2. The wall is being climbed by the boy.
  3. A sound was not heard by us.
  4. A horse has been bought by them.

Explanation: In English grammar, converting a sentence from active to passive voice involves making the object of the active sentence the subject of the passive sentence. The verb form changes to accommodate this shift, often using a form of “to be” plus the past participle of the main verb.

Steps:

  1. Identify the Subject, Verb, and Object:
  • Active: “She likes chocolates.”
  • Subject: She
  • Verb: likes
  • Object: chocolates
  1. Rearrange to Passive:
  • Make the object the new subject: “Chocolates”
  • Use the appropriate form of “to be”: “are”
  • Use the past participle of the main verb: “liked”
  • Add “by” and the original subject: “by her”
  1. Construct the Passive Sentence:
  • Passive: “Chocolates are liked by her.”

Repeat these steps for each sentence to convert them from active to passive voice.
