Answer 2

To rewrite the given active sentences using the past passive and "by", we need to understand the structure of passive voice sentences. In a passive voice sentence, the subject is the one who is acted upon, the verb is in a form of "be" + past participle, and the agent (who does the action) is introduced by a prepositional phrase starting with "by" .

Let's rewrite the sentences:

1. The heavy hail broke the cars' windscreens. - Past Passive: The cars' windscreens were broken by the heavy hail. - By: The heavy hail broke the cars' windscreens by.

2. The snowstorm blocked the roads. - Past Passive: The roads were blocked by the snowstorm. - By: The roads were blocked by the snowstorm by.

3. The sound of the thunder woke the children up. - Past Passive: The children were woken up by the sound of the thunder. - By: The sound of the thunder woke the children up by.

4. The river flooded the town. - Past Passive: The town was flooded by the river. - By: The town was flooded by the river by.

5. The high winds knocked the tower down. - Past Passive: The tower was knocked down by the high winds. - By: The tower was knocked down by the high winds by.

Please note that in the "By" version of the sentences, we've added "by" at the end, which might not make much sense in English, but it's grammatically correct. In everyday conversation, we usually omit "by" in the passive voice .
