A. You are told for keeping quiet

B. You are requested to keep quiet.

C. You are requested for keep quiet.

C. We considered trees one of our best friends.

D. We consider trees one of our best friends.

(Explanation:

1. Agent: The passive sentence has no explicit agent ("by us/people"), so we assume "We" as the subject in active voice.
