**Rule**: A sentence in the Present Perfect Tense is converted to passive voice using **Object + has/have + been + V3**. The negative 'No one' in the active voice becomes 'never' in the passive voice.
- **Correct Answer (a)**: The object 'this mountain' becomes the subject. The verb 'has never been climbed' correctly reflects the negative meaning and the Present Perfect Tense in passive form. The agent 'by no one' is omitted.

They will have completed the project by next year.
**Rule**: To convert a Future Perfect Tense sentence to passive voice, the structure is **Object + will/shall + have been + V3 + by + Subject**.
- **Correct Answer (c)**: The object 'the project' becomes the subject. The verb form 'will have been completed' is the correct passive construction for the Future Perfect Tense. The agent 'by them' can be omitted.
- **Incorrect Answer (a)**: This incorrectly changes the tense to Future Simple.
- **Incorrect Answer (b)**: 'would' is an incorrect modal change.
- **Incorrect Answer (d)**: This incorrectly changes the tense to Simple Present.
**Rule**: To convert a Future Simple Tense sentence to passive voice, the structure is **Object + will/shall + be + V3 + by + Subject**. When there are two objects, either can become the subject.
- **Correct Answer (a)**: The direct object 'a ticket' becomes the subject. The verb form 'will be given' is correct. The indirect object 'you' is preceded by the preposition 'to'.
- **Incorrect Answer (b)**: 'would' is used instead of 'will', which is an incorrect change of modal.
- **Incorrect Answer (c)**: This incorrectly changes the tense to Simple Present.
- **Incorrect Answer (d)**: The preposition 'from' is incorrect; 'by' should be used to indicate the agent.
**Rule**: Interrogative sentences in the Simple Past Tense starting with 'Who' are converted to passive voice using **By whom + was/were + object + V3?**
- **Correct Answer (b)**: 'Who' becomes 'By whom'. The object 'this beautiful vase' is singular, so 'was' is used. The past participle of 'break' is 'broken'.
- **Incorrect Answer (a)**: This incorrectly changes the tense to Present Perfect.
- **Incorrect Answer (c)**: This incorrectly changes the tense to Simple Present.
- **Incorrect Answer (d)**: The word order is incorrect for a question, and 'who' should be 'whom' after a preposition.
**Rule**: For a sentence with a modal verb (like can, must, should), the passive structure is **Object + modal verb + be + V3**. The agent 'by you' can be omitted.
- **Correct Answer (a)**: The object 'him' becomes the subject 'He'. The modal 'cannot' is followed by 'be' and the past participle 'trusted'. The agent 'by you' is correctly and naturally omitted.
- **Incorrect Answer (b)**: While grammatically plausible, making 'this secret' the subject creates a slightly awkward sentence. The focus of trust is on 'him'.
- **Incorrect Answer (c)**: 'must not' is a different modal and changes the meaning from inability/lack of permission to strong prohibition.
- **Incorrect Answer (d)**: 'could not' changes the modal to its past or conditional form.
**Rule**: For a sentence in the Simple Present Tense, the passive voice structure is **Object + is/am/are + V3 + by + Subject**.
- **Correct Answer (a)**: The object 'good news' becomes the subject. 'News' is an uncountable noun and takes a singular verb, so 'is' is used. The past participle of 'expect' is 'expected'.
- **Incorrect Answer (b)**: This incorrectly changes the tense to Simple Past.
- **Incorrect Answer (c)**: The 'Let' structure is used for imperative sentences, not for declarative statements like this one.
- **Incorrect Answer (d)**: This incorrectly changes the tense to Present Perfect.

**Rule**: To convert a Future Simple Tense sentence to passive voice, the structure is **Object + will/shall + be + V3 + by + Subject**.
