Question

2. Replace the Passive by the Active Voice(Замените пассив активным залогом). Westminster Palace was built by King Edward in 1050, and was first used as his residence, then - as a meeting place for Parliament. In 1834, after the Palace was completely destroyed by a great fire, a new one was built, which is now known as The Houses of Parliament. One half of the building is occupied by The House of Commons, the other half is used by the House of Lords. Members of the House of Lords are not elected by the people; some of them are given their title from birth, others are appointed by the Queen (they are first recommended to the Queen by the Government). From time to time the question is publicly discussed, whether it is right that only part of the British Parliament is elected. All the laws of the country are made by Members of Parliament, but, after a new law is taken there, it is then passed to the Queen for approval.

Answer 2

King Edward built Westminster Palace in 1050, and he first used it as his residence, then as a meeting place for Parliament. In 1834, a great fire completely destroyed the Palace, and they built a new one, which is now known as The Houses of Parliament. The House of Commons occupies one half of the building, while the House of Lords uses the other half. The people do not elect members of the House of Lords; some inherit their titles, while others are appointed by the Queen (the government first recommends them to the Queen). From time to time, the public discusses whether it is right that only part of the British Parliament is elected. Members of Parliament make all the laws of the country, but after a new law passes through Parliament, they then send it to the Queen for approval.
