Answers With Explanation:

1. a) He is liked by all his pupils (Present Indefinite active "Subject + V1 + Object" becomes passive "Subject (obj) + am/is/are + V3 + by + Object (subj)". )

2. c) Idle people are not liked by us. (Negative Present Indefinite: "do not like" becomes "are not liked". )

3. b) Kites were being flown by them. (Past Continuous: "were flying" becomes "were being flown". )

4. b) Work was made by him for us. (Note: The standard causative passive for "He made us work" is "We were made to work by him". However, the provided source key selects option 'b', interpreting 'made' as 'created' or following a specific non-standard convention. )

5. b) All the good qualities are embodied in my teacher. ('Embody' takes the preposition 'in' in the passive voice, not 'by'. )

6. b) Are they known to you? (Note: Option 'b' in text is "Is they know...", correct grammar is 'Are they known...'. Source key says 6.b, likely referring to the intended correct option despite typo in source text. Correct form: Are they known to you?) ('Know' takes 'to' in passive. Interrogative structure is maintained. )

7. b) He was laughed at by all of his friends. (Group verb 'laugh at' keeps the preposition 'at' in passive. "He was laughed at...". )

8. d) These doors must be shut (Modal 'must' becomes 'must be + V3'. )

9. d) A shop is going to be opened by him. ("Going to" structure becomes "going to be + V3". )

10. b) Let the door be shut at once. (Imperative sentence starts with 'Let' + object + 'be' + V3. )

12. c) By whom will the work be done? ('Who' becomes 'By whom' in passive. Future indefinite 'will do' becomes 'will be done'. )

13. a) Who is loved by him? ('Whom' becomes 'Who' in passive. Present indefinite 'does...love' becomes 'is loved'. )

14. a) The pill is bitter when it is tasted (Quasi-passive voice. Structure: Subject + verb + adjective -> Subject + be + adjective + when + it/they + be + V3. )

15. b) A promise should be kept. (Indefinite subject 'One' is often dropped in passive. 'One's promise' becomes general 'A promise'. )

16. c) He is not known here. ('Nobody' makes the sentence negative. 'Know' takes 'to', but here the agent is dropped or 'not known' implies 'to anyone'. )

17. d) The patriots are always remembered. (General agent 'People' is usually omitted in passive. )

18. a) Circumstances will oblige me to go. (The question asks to change voice. "I shall be obliged" is passive. The active agent is implied (Circumstances). )

19. c) He was caused to die of fever. (Intransitive verbs like 'die' have no passive. This is a forced passive construction found in some exams. )

20. d) Let not your time be wasted. (Negative Imperative: Let not + object + be + V3. )

21. b) This is impossible to be done (Structure: It is + adj + to do + obj -> Obj (This) + is + adj + to be done. )

22. a) Punctuality is insisted on in this office ('Insist on' retains the preposition. Object of preposition 'punctuality' becomes subject. )

23. b) He is known to me. ('Know' takes 'to' in passive, not 'by'. )
