Answer 2

To change the sentences using the passive voice, we need to rearrange the sentence structure and use the appropriate form of the verb "to be" along with the past participle of the main verb. Here are the revised sentences:

1. The novel "The Captain's Daughter" was written by Pushkin. 2. English is used as the official language by the people of this country. 3. The same questions are answered by doctors and scientists. 4. English is spoken by 4.25% of the world's population. 5. The home task was done by my brother yesterday. 6. England will be visited by our students next year.

Let's break down each sentence and explain the changes made:

1. The original sentence "Pushkin wrote the novel 'The Captain's Daughter'" is transformed into the passive voice by placing the object ("the novel 'The Captain's Daughter'") as the subject and using the past participle form of the verb "to write" ("written"), along with the appropriate form of the verb "to be" ("was"). The resulting sentence is "The novel 'The Captain's Daughter' was written by Pushkin."

2. The original sentence "People of this country use English as their official language" is transformed into the passive voice by placing the object ("English") as the subject and using the appropriate form of the verb "to be" ("is"), along with the past participle form of the verb "to use" ("used"). The resulting sentence is "English is used as the official language by the people of this country."

3. The original sentence "Doctors and scientists answer the same questions" is transformed into the passive voice by placing the object ("the same questions") as the subject and using the appropriate form of the verb "to be" ("are"), along with the past participle form of the verb "to answer" ("answered"). The resulting sentence is "The same questions are answered by doctors and scientists."

4. The original sentence "4.25% of the world's population speak English" is transformed into the passive voice by placing the object ("English") as the subject and using the appropriate form of the verb "to be" ("is"), along with the past participle form of the verb "to speak" ("spoken"). The resulting sentence is "English is spoken by 4.25% of the world's population."

5. The original sentence "My brother did the home task yesterday" is transformed into the passive voice by placing the object ("the home task") as the subject and using the past participle form of the verb "to do" ("done"), along with the appropriate form of the verb "to be" ("was"). The resulting sentence is "The home task was done by my brother yesterday."

6. The original sentence "Our students will visit England next year" is transformed into the passive voice by placing the object ("England") as the subject and using the appropriate form of the verb "to be" ("will be"), along with the past participle form of the verb "to visit" ("visited"). The resulting sentence is "England will be visited by our students next year."

By using the passive voice, the focus of the sentence shifts from the doer of the action to the receiver of the action, which can be useful in certain contexts or for stylistic purposes.
