To solve the problem, we need to convert each sentence from the active voice to the passive voice. In the passive voice, the subject of the sentence receives the action rather than performing it. The structure of a passive sentence is:
[Subject] + [Auxiliary Verb (is/are/was/were)] + [Past Participle of the Main Verb] + [by + Agent (optional)]
Let's go through each sentence step by step:

- Active: The woman beats the boys.
- Passive: The boys are beaten by the woman.
