**Rule**: For a Present Continuous Tense sentence, the passive structure is **Object + is/am/are + being + V3 + by + Subject**.
- **Correct Answer (c)**: The object 'all applications' becomes the subject. Since 'applications' is plural, 'are' is used, followed by 'being' and the past participle 'considered'.
- **Incorrect Answer (a)**: This incorrectly changes the tense to Simple Present.
- **Incorrect Answer (b)**: This incorrectly changes the tense to Past Continuous.
- **Incorrect Answer (d)**: This incorrectly changes the tense to Present Perfect.
**Rule**: For a Past Continuous Tense sentence with two objects, the indirect object can become the subject. The passive structure is **Object + was/were + being + V3**. The agent 'by them' can be omitted.
- **Correct Answer (a)**: The indirect object 'the refugees' becomes the subject. The verb form 'were being given' is the correct passive for the Past Continuous. The direct object 'food and shelter' follows. The agent 'by them' is correctly omitted.
- **Incorrect Answer (b)**: This incorrectly changes the tense to Simple Past.
- **Incorrect Answer (c)**: This incorrectly changes the tense to Simple Past.
- **Incorrect Answer (d)**: This incorrectly changes the tense to Present Perfect.
**Rule**: For sentences with past modals (modal + have + V3), the passive structure is **Object + modal + have been + V3 + by + Subject**.
- **Correct Answer (c)**: The object 'the keys' becomes the subject. The past modal passive form 'might have been left' is the correct construction.
- **Incorrect Answer (a)**: 'might be left' is the passive form for a present modal ('might leave'), not a past modal.
- **Incorrect Answer (b)**: The addition of 'to' is incorrect and changes the meaning.
- **Incorrect Answer (d)**: This incorrectly changes the structure to Past Perfect tense.

The teacher is going to grade the papers tomorrow.
**Rule**: For active sentences using the 'be going to' future form, the passive structure is **Object + is/am/are + going to be + V3**.
- **Correct Answer (c)**: The object 'the papers' becomes the subject. The structure 'are going to be graded' is the correct passive conversion of 'is going to grade'.
- **Incorrect Answer (a)**: This is the passive of the Present Continuous, which, while possible for future plans, is not a direct conversion of the 'going to' form.
- **Incorrect Answer (b)**: This changes the structure to the 'will' future.
- **Incorrect Answer (d)**: This incorrectly changes the tense to Present Perfect.
**Rule**: For an interrogative sentence in the Future Simple Tense starting with a 'Wh-' word, the passive structure is **Wh- word + will/shall + object + be + V3 + by + subject?**
- **Correct Answer (c)**: The 'Wh-' word 'How' remains at the beginning. The modal 'will' is used, followed by the new subject 'this situation', 'be', and the past participle 'managed'.
- **Incorrect Answer (a)**: 'could' is an incorrect modal change.
- **Incorrect Answer (b)**: This incorrectly changes the tense to Simple Present.
- **Incorrect Answer (d)**: This incorrectly changes the tense to Present Perfect.
**Rule**: To convert a Future Simple Tense sentence to passive voice, the structure is **Object + will/shall + be + V3 + by + Subject**.
- **Correct Answer (b)**: The object 'a new bridge' becomes the subject. The passive verb form 'will be built' correctly reflects the Future Simple Tense.
- **Incorrect Answer (a)**: This incorrectly changes the tense to Present Continuous.
- **Incorrect Answer (c)**: This incorrectly changes the tense to Present Perfect.
- **Incorrect Answer (d)**: 'would' is an incorrect modal verb here.
**Rule**: To convert a Past Continuous Tense sentence to passive voice, the structure is **Object + was/were + being + V3 + by + Subject**.
- **Correct Answer (b)**: The object 'a new software' becomes the subject. Since it is singular, 'was' is used, followed by 'being' and the past participle 'developed'.
- **Incorrect Answer (a)**: This incorrectly changes the tense to Present Continuous.
- **Incorrect Answer (c)**: This incorrectly changes the tense to Present Perfect.
- **Incorrect Answer (d)**: This incorrectly changes the tense to Simple Past.
**Rule**: To convert a Present Continuous Tense sentence to passive voice, the structure is **Object + is/am/are + being + V3 + by + Subject**.
- **Correct Answer (d)**: The object 'the case' becomes the subject. Since it is singular, 'is' is used, followed by 'being' and the past participle 'investigated'.
- **Incorrect Answer (a)**: This incorrectly changes the tense to Simple Present.
- **Incorrect Answer (b)**: This incorrectly changes the tense to Present Perfect.
- **Incorrect Answer (c)**: This incorrectly changes the tense to Past Continuous.
**Rule**: To convert an interrogative sentence in the Present Perfect Tense to passive voice, the structure is **Has/Have + object + been + V3 + by + subject?**
- **Correct Answer (c)**: The helping verb 'Has' remains at the beginning. The object 'a new car' follows, then 'been' and the past participle 'bought'.
- **Incorrect Answer (a)**: 'to be bought' is an incorrect verb form in this context.
- **Incorrect Answer (b)**: This incorrectly changes the tense to Simple Past.
- **Incorrect Answer (d)**: This is not in the correct interrogative word order.
**Rule**: Negative imperative sentences (warnings/commands) are often converted to passive voice using the structure: **Let + object + not + be + V3**.
- **Correct Answer (a)**: This option correctly applies the 'Let' structure for a negative command. 'the live wire' is the object, followed by 'not be' and the past participle 'touched'.
- **Incorrect Answer (b)**: 'advised not to be touching' is an awkward and incorrect construction.
- **Incorrect Answer (c)**: This implies a rule or regulation, which is slightly different from a direct, urgent warning.
- **Incorrect Answer (d)**: 'Shouldn't' offers advice, which is weaker than the strong warning in the original sentence.
