The world _______________ (destroy) by the sudden occurrence of natural disasters after two years.

Explanation
In this sentence, the verb "destroy" is in the future tense, indicated by the use of the modal verb "will" followed by the base form of the verb. The phrase "after two years" suggests that the destruction of the world will happen in the future, further supporting the use of the future tense. Therefore, the correct answer is "will be destroyed."

*Change the sentences from active to passive voice:The ark will save Jackson and his family in 2012.

Explanation
The given answer correctly changes the sentence from active to passive voice. In the original sentence, "The ark will save Jackson and his family in 2012," the subject is "the ark" and the verb is "will save." In the passive voice, the subject becomes the receiver of the action, so "Jackson and his family" become the subject. The verb "will be saved" is used to indicate that the action is being done to the subject. The preposition "by" is used to show that the ark is the doer of the action. Thus, the correct passive voice sentence is "Jackson and his family will be saved by the ark in 2012."

The rest of the sentence remains unchanged, maintaining the correct tense and meaning.
