Transforming Active voice into Passive voice

1. It is known that Julius Caesar was kidnapped by pirates on the way across the Aegean Sea. 2. The statue of Liberty was designed by French sculptor Frederic Auguste Bartholdi.

Please note that the Passive voice is formed by using the auxiliary verb "to be" followed by the past participle of the main verb. The subject of the active sentence becomes the object of the passive sentence, and the agent (the doer of the action) is often omitted or mentioned using the preposition "by".
