**Rule**: For a Simple Past Tense sentence with a phrasal verb, the passive structure is **Object + was/were + V3 + particle + by + Subject**.
- **Correct Answer (b)**: The object 'the roof' becomes the subject. The verb form 'was blown off' correctly keeps the particle 'off' with the verb. The past participle of 'blow' is 'blown'.

- **Incorrect Answer (c)**: This incorrectly changes the tense to Present Perfect.
- **Incorrect Answer (d)**: This incorrectly changes the tense to Simple Present.
**Rule**: When the active sentence uses 'will have to', the passive form is **Object + will have to + be + V3**.
- **Correct Answer (a)**: The object 'his contract' becomes the subject. The structure 'will have to be terminated' is the correct passive form for the future necessity.
- **Incorrect Answer (b)**: This omits 'have to', changing the meaning to a simple future action.

**Rule**: For a sentence in the Past Continuous Tense, the passive voice structure is **Object + was/were + being + V3 + by + Subject**.

- **Incorrect Answer (d)**: This incorrectly changes the tense to Present Perfect.
**Rule**: For an interrogative sentence in the Past Continuous Tense starting with 'Who', the passive structure is **By whom + was/were + object + being + V3?**
- **Correct Answer (c)**: 'Who' becomes 'By whom'. The object 'that noise' is singular, so 'was' is used, followed by 'being' and the past participle 'made'.

- **Correct Answer (c)**: The direct object 'their work' becomes the new subject after 'Let'. This is followed by 'be' and the past participle 'done'. The original object 'them' becomes the agent 'by them'.
- **Incorrect Answer (a)**: This omits the agent 'by them', making the sentence less specific.
- **Incorrect Answer (b)**: 'Should' changes the imperative mood to one of suggestion.
- **Incorrect Answer (d)**: This changes the structure and meaning entirely, introducing the concept of permission.
