**Rule**: For an interrogative sentence with the 'be going to' future form starting with 'Who', the passive structure is **By whom + is/am/are + object + going to be + V3?**
- **Correct Answer (c)**: 'Who' changes to 'By whom'. The object 'this room' is singular, so 'is' is used, followed by the object and the correct passive structure 'going to be cleaned'. The word order is correct for a question.
- **Incorrect Answer (a)**: This changes the structure to the 'will' future.
- **Incorrect Answer (b)**: The word order is incorrect for an interrogative sentence.
- **Incorrect Answer (d)**: 'who' is the incorrect case; 'whom' is required after the preposition 'By'.
**Rule**: For a Present Continuous Tense sentence, the passive structure is **Object + is/am/are + being + V3 + by + Subject**.
- **Correct Answer (c)**: The object 'your loan application' becomes the subject. Since it is singular, 'is' is used, followed by 'being' and the past participle 'processed'.
- **Incorrect Answer (a)**: This incorrectly changes the tense to Past Continuous.
- **Incorrect Answer (b)**: This incorrectly changes the tense to Simple Present.
- **Incorrect Answer (d)**: This incorrectly changes the tense to Present Perfect.

- **Correct Answer (d)**: 'Who' changes to 'By whom'. The object 'the report' is singular, so 'is' is used, followed by the object and the correct passive structure 'going to be written'.
- **Incorrect Answer (a)**: This changes the structure to the 'will' future.
- **Incorrect Answer (b)**: This word order is not standard for formal interrogative sentences.
- **Incorrect Answer (c)**: 'who' is the incorrect case; 'whom' is required after the preposition 'By'.
**Rule**: When the active sentence uses 'had to' to show past necessity, the passive form is **Object + had to + be + V3**.
- **Correct Answer (c)**: The object 'the faulty products' becomes the subject. The structure 'had to be recalled' is the correct passive form for the past necessity.
- **Incorrect Answer (a)**: 'were to be' implies a past plan, which is a different meaning.
- **Incorrect Answer (b)**: 'have to be' incorrectly changes the tense to the present.
- **Incorrect Answer (d)**: 'had been recalled' is the passive of the Past Perfect Tense ('had recalled'), not 'had to recall'.
**Rule**: For a sentence in the Present Perfect Tense, the passive voice structure is **Object + has/have + been + V3 + by + Subject**.
- **Correct Answer (d)**: The object 'new flowers' becomes the subject. Since 'flowers' is plural, 'have' is used, followed by 'been' and the past participle 'planted'.
- **Incorrect Answer (a)**: This incorrectly changes the tense to Simple Past.
- **Incorrect Answer (b)**: This incorrectly changes the tense to Simple Present.
- **Incorrect Answer (c)**: This incorrectly changes the tense to Past Perfect.
**Rule**: For a Simple Past Tense sentence, the passive structure is **Object + was/were + V3**. The indefinite subject 'someone' is omitted.
- **Correct Answer (a)**: The object 'the jewels' becomes the subject. Since 'jewels' is plural, 'were' is used, followed by the past participle 'stolen'. The agent 'by someone' is correctly omitted.
- **Incorrect Answer (b)**: This incorrectly changes the tense to Present Perfect.
- **Incorrect Answer (c)**: This incorrectly changes the tense to Past Continuous and unnecessarily includes the vague agent 'by someone'.
- **Incorrect Answer (d)**: This incorrectly changes the tense to Simple Present.
**Rule**: Imperative sentences starting with 'Let us' (Let's) suggest a proposal. They can be converted to passive voice in two main ways: using **'It is suggested that...'** or **'Let + object + be + V3'**.
- **Correct Answer (d)**: Both (b) and (c) are valid passive forms.
- (b) treats the sentence as a suggestion, which is a common interpretation of 'Let us'.
- (c) follows the standard 'Let' structure for imperatives, keeping the agent 'by us'.
- **Incorrect Answer (a)**: While grammatically similar, 'should' is a direct statement of advice, whereas the original is a proposal.
- **Incorrect Answer (b)**: This is a correct form, but (c) is also correct.
- **Incorrect Answer (c)**: This is a correct form, but (b) is also correct.
**Rule**: For an interrogative sentence in the Simple Past Tense starting with 'What', the passive structure is **What + was/were + V3 + by + subject?**
- **Correct Answer (b)**: The 'Wh-' word 'What' remains at the beginning and acts as the subject. The passive verb form 'was written' is correct for the Simple Past Tense.
- **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)**: This incorrectly changes the tense to Past Continuous.
**Rule**: For sentences with modal verbs (like ought to), the passive structure is **Object + modal verb + be + V3**. The agent 'by you' is omitted.
- **Correct Answer (b)**: The object 'Your promises' becomes the subject. The modal 'ought to' is followed by 'be' and the past participle 'respected'.
- **Incorrect Answer (a)**: 'must' is a different modal, implying a stronger obligation.
- **Incorrect Answer (c)**: This changes the modal structure entirely, altering the meaning to past necessity.
- **Incorrect Answer (d)**: 'ought to have been' is the passive form for a past modal, which changes the tense.
**Rule**: For a negative sentence in the Past Continuous Tense, the passive structure is **Object + was/were + not + being + V3 + by + Subject**.
- **Correct Answer (a)**: The object 'the instructions' becomes the subject. The passive verb form 'were not being followed' correctly reflects the negative Past Continuous tense.
- **Incorrect Answer (b)**: This incorrectly changes the tense to Simple Past.
- **Incorrect Answer (c)**: This incorrectly changes the tense to Present Perfect.
- **Incorrect Answer (d)**: This incorrectly changes the tense to Present Continuous.
