Answer 1

1. They have made 200 workers redundant.

200 workers have been made redundant.  - ok

2. Has anyone fed the cat?  

Has the cat been fed by anyone?  - ok

3. She could not be persuaded to give up smoking.  - Passive

Nobody could persuade her to give up smoking.  - подлежащее she из первого предложения становится дополнением в активном залоге

4. My purse has been stolen.  - Мой кошелёк украли (кто украл - неизвестно или неважно, глагол steal в Present Perfect Passive)

Someone has stolen my purse.  - Кто-то украл мой кошелёк. (здесь кошелек уже дополнение, глагол steal используем в Present Perfect Active)

5. They couldn't move it.  

It could not be moved by them.  - в пассиве сказуемое всегда включает в себя глагол be в той или иной форме и "третью форму" глагола (причастие прошедшего времени) - в данном случае это moved. А после предлога by нужно использовать объектное местоимение, а не личное (то есть, не by they, а by them)

6 Is someone giving you a lift?  - обратите внимание на время глагола, это Present Continuous. При изменении залога время глагола менять нельзя.

Are you being given a lift by someone?  - именно так выглядит Present Continuous Passive.

7. The house will have to be sold.  - (Дом придётся продать) - это Future Simple Passive c модальным глаголом have to. Здесь использован инфинитив в пассиве  - to be sold. Чтобы трансформировать предложение, пассивный инфинитив заменяем на активный + не забываем про подлежащее и дополнение:

We will have to sell the house.  (Мы должны будем продать дом)

8. I was told the train would be 10 minutes late.  - (Мне сказали, что поезд опоздает на 10 минут.)  - сказуемое was told - Past Simple Passive

The guard told me what train would be 10 minutes late.  - (Кондуктор сказал мне, что поезд...) - здесь сказуемое told - это Past Simple Active глагола tell

9. Someone wants you on the phone. - определяем время: Present Simple (wants)

You are wanted on the phone. - для Present Simple в пассиве используется форма глагола to be (am/is/are) + 3-я форма глагола.

10. No computer is needed for this Open University course.  - сказуемое выражено формой Present Simple Passive глагола need.

You do not need a computer for this Open University course.  - используем тот же глагол need в активном залоге в Present Simple в отрицательной форме.

11. The police are watching him closely.  - это вновь Present Continuous, поэтому в пассиве не обойтись без окончания -ing)))

He is being watched closely by the police.  

12. I was told to wait outside.  (Мне сказали подождать снаружи) - was told - это форма Past Simple Passive глагола tell.

The secretary told me to wait outside.  (Секретарь сказал(а) мне подождать снаружи) - при преобразовании из пассива в актив was отбрасываем за ненадобностью

Answer 2

1. 200 workers have been made redundant. (Correct)
2. Has the cat been fed by anyone? (Correct)
3. She could not be persuaded to give up smoking. (Correct) Explanation: This sentence is already in the passive voice, as there is no subject performing the action. It cannot be converted to the active voice as there is no doer of the action.
4. My purse has been stolen. (Correct)
5. It could not be moved by them. (Correct) Explanation: "It" is the subject of the sentence and "they" is the object in the original sentence. Therefore, in the passive voice, "it" becomes the object and "they" becomes the agent.
6. Are you given a lift by someone? (Correct) Explanation: In this sentence, the subject and object switch places in the passive voice.
7. The house will have to be sold. (Correct) Explanation: In the passive voice, the subject of the sentence becomes the receiver of the action and the agent (if there is one) comes after "by."
8. The guard told me that the train would be 10 minutes late. (Correct) Explanation: In the active voice, the subject (guard) performs the action (told) on the object (me). In the passive voice, the object (me) becomes the subject and the agent (guard) comes after "by."
9. You are wanted on the phone. (Correct) Explanation: In the active voice, "someone" performs the action of wanting "you" on the phone. In the passive voice, "you" becomes the object of the action and "someone" is implied.
10. No computer is needed for this Open University course. (Correct) Explanation: In the active voice, the subject (you) performs the action (needing) on the object (computer). In the passive voice, "computer" becomes the subject and "you" is implied.
11. He is being watched closely by the police. (Correct) Explanation: In the active voice, the subject (police) performs the action (watching) on the object (him). In the passive voice, "he" becomes the subject and "police" becomes the agent.
12. The secretary told me to wait outside. (Correct) Explanation: In the active voice, the subject (secretary) performs the action (told) on the object (me). In the passive voice, the object (me) becomes the subject and the agent (secretary) comes after "by."
