Answer : 1. "has started bring"
Explanation :
If a verb requires an object after it, it is a transitive verb.
If a verb doesn't require an object after it, it is an intransitive verb.
For example:
The girls carry water to their village. (transitive verb) A light was shining. (intransitive verb)
There are certain verbs that are used in a particular pattern given below:
Subject + verb + noun/pronoun + present participle(-ing form).
Some of the verbs are given below:
Hate/love, stop/start, finish, enjoy, prefer, keep, rest, worth, propose, regret, etc.
Example: She hates going out in the night.
According to the rule and the example given above, 'has started bringing' will be used instead of 'has started bring' in the 2nd part of the sentence.

Answer : 3. "The plan has been looked at carefully."
Explanation :
The given sentence is in Passive Voice. As per the question we have to change it into Active Voice.
The structure of the given sentence as follows: Subject+has/have+V3+Object.
(Active Voice) Subject (Objective Case)+has/have+been+V3+Object (Subjective Case).
(Passive Voice) 'The plan' will be put in place of 'we'.
(Subject becomes object) And 'We' will be put in place of 'The plan'.
(the object becomes subject) 'Have looked at' will be changed into 'Has looked at'.
(To agree with the changed subject and object) Thus the correct sentence is:
The plan has been carefully looked at

Answer : 4. "New copies of the album have been ordered by Shalu."
Explanation :
The given sentence is in the active voice. We have to change the sentence into passive form.
The given sentence is written in 'present perfect tense.'
The structure of these kinds of sentences is:
Active Voice: Subject + have/has + V3 + Object.
Passive Voice: Object + have/has + been + V3 + by (preposition) + Subject.
Let’s see another example:
Active voice: I have written this instruction only for visitors.
Passive voice: This instruction has been written by me only for visitors.
The subject of the given sentence is 'Shalu' and the object of the given sentence is 'new copies of the album.'
So, in the passive voice, the position of ‘subject’ and ‘object’ will be interchanged.
Also here, 'has ordered' will be changed into 'have been ordered'.
Correct Sentence: New copies of the album have been ordered by Shalu.
Q: Select the correct passive form of the given sentence.

Answer : 1. "Liza is regarded as an expert by all of us."
Explanation :
In Active Voice, a sentence emphasizes the subject, performing an action. In Passive Voice, a sentence emphasizes the action or the object of the sentence.
The given sentence is in the active voice and 'We' is the subject and 'Liza' is the object.
When we convert this sentence into passive voice, the subject 'We' of the active voice becomes the object 'us', the object 'Liza' becomes the subject.
The passive format "is + V3 (regarded)" should be used. This is the active and passive voice rule for the present simple tense.
