It looks like you've uploaded a language exercise where you're asked to
rewrite each sentence in the passive voice, based on the example given.
Let’s go through each sentence and convert it into the
passive voice. The example provided is:
>
An- The ladies are carrying the babies.
> This implies that we need to write a
passive version of each sentence.

Let's solve each one:
---
b. I met the gentleman.
Passive:
The gentleman was met by me.
But since "by me" is often omitted in passive constructions (especially in formal or written English), we can simplify it to:
👉
The gentleman was met.
✔ Final answer:
The gentleman was met.
---
c. Riya caught the mouse.
Passive:
The mouse was caught by Riya.
We can also say:
👉
The mouse was caught. (if the doer is not important)
But since the original includes the subject, we include "by Riya".
✔ Final answer:
The mouse was caught by Riya.
---
d. Clean your tooth.
This is an imperative sentence. To make it passive, we rephrase it as a suggestion or instruction in passive form.
Passive version:
Your tooth should be cleaned.
Alternatively:
Your tooth must be cleaned.
✔ Final answer:
Your tooth should be cleaned.
---
e. You can see the books in the shelf.
This is a perception sentence. Passive form would focus on the object being seen.
Passive:
The books in the shelf can be seen.
✔ Final answer:
The books in the shelf can be seen.
---
f. The policeman is running after the thief.
This is an action involving pursuit. We want to passivize the
thief as the receiver of the action.
Passive:
The thief is being run after by the policeman.
Note: "Run after" is a phrasal verb. In passive voice, it becomes "be run after".
✔ Final answer:
The thief is being run after by the policeman.
---
g. This bench is broken.
This is already in passive form — it describes a state (result of past action). But if we want to express it as a
passive construction from an active verb, we assume someone broke it.
Active: Someone broke this bench.
Passive:
This bench has been broken. (more natural than "is broken" for past action)
However, "is broken" is a
present simple passive describing current state.
So, depending on context, both could work, but since the original says "is broken", we can keep it as:
👉
This bench has been broken. (implies it was broken in the past and remains so)
Or simply accept:
This bench is broken. (already passive in meaning)
But since the task asks for a passive construction, and "is broken" is a passive construction (present simple passive), it's acceptable.
✔ Final answer:
This bench is broken. (already passive)
Alternatively:
This bench has been broken. (emphasizes past action)
But best match:
This bench has been broken.
