Answer 1

1. a very interesting book was given to me by my brother
2. a trunk call was ordered by me this morning
3. a message was left by they
4. the wrong number was dialed by her
5. some telephone calls were made by us today
6. business talk over the telephone was just finished by her

Answer 2

To transform the given sentences into the passive voice, the object of the active sentence becomes the subject of the passive sentence, and the verb is changed to its passive form. Here are the passive versions of the sentences you provided:

1. A very interesting book has been given to me by my brother. 2. A trunk call has been ordered by me this morning. 3. A message has been left by them. 4. The wrong number has been dialed by her. 5. Some telephone calls have been made by us today. 6. Her business talk over the telephone has just been finished by her.

Please note that in passive voice constructions, the emphasis is on the receiver of the action rather than the doer of the action. In these passive sentences, the focus is on the object (e.g., the book, the trunk call, the message) receiving the action.
