The sentence is transformed from active voice to passive voice by changing the subject "My friends" to "The newspaper" and adding the auxiliary verb "is" before the past participle "delivered". The preposition "by" is omitted in the passive form. The sentence still conveys the same meaning, stating that the newspaper is delivered in the morning.

The sentence is transformed into the passive form by using the preposition "by" to indicate the doer of the action. In this case, the subject "England" becomes the doer and is placed after the verb "made." The result is "The best computers are made by England."

When we want to specify the person or entity that performed an action, we use the preposition "by". This is commonly used in passive voice sentences, where the subject of the sentence is the receiver of the action rather than the doer. For example, "The book was written by John." In this case, "by" is used to indicate that John is the one who performed the action of writing the book. Therefore, the statement "If we want to specify who did the action, we use 'by'" is true.

The sentence "John made the dress" has been transformed into the passive form by removing the word "by" and rearranging the sentence structure. The passive form emphasizes the action done to the subject, in this case, the dress. Therefore, "The dress was made" is the correct passive form of the original sentence.

The original sentence states that Charlie broke the glasses with a stone. In the passive form, the subject of the sentence (glasses) becomes the receiver of the action, and the object of the sentence (Charlie) becomes the doer of the action. The preposition "by" is omitted in this case. Therefore, the correct passive form is "The glasses were broken with a stone."

In a passive sentence, the object of the active sentence becomes the subject. This means that the focus or the receiver of the action in the active sentence becomes the main subject in the passive sentence. The passive voice is often used when the doer of the action is unknown or unimportant, or when the focus is on the receiver of the action rather than the doer. Therefore, the statement "The object of the active sentence becomes the subject of the passive sentence" is true.

The sentence is transformed into the passive form by placing the object "the mouse" before the verb "was seen," and adding the preposition "by" followed by the subject "Bella." This construction emphasizes the object of the sentence, "the mouse," as the receiver of the action, and the subject "Bella" becomes less important.

Passives are used when the subject is not important or unknown. This means that the focus is on the action or the object of the sentence rather than the person or thing performing the action. Therefore, it is true that we use passives when we do not care or know about the subject.

The given statement is false. To form the passive voice, we use "the verb to be + past participle form of the verb," not the verb-ing form.

The sentence is transformed into the passive form by changing the subject "She" to "The animal" and using the past participle form of the verb "feed" which is "fed". The phrase "twice a day" remains unchanged.

In the conversation, Sophia says "I feel sick" and Martinez responds with "You should take it easy." Therefore, the correct answer includes the phrases "I feel sick" and "You should take it easy."
