Answer : 1. "She forgave all his faults."
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 passive voice and 'all his faults' is the subject and 'her' is the object.
When we convert this sentence into active voice, the subject 'all his faults' of the passive voice becomes the object, the object 'her' becomes the subject 'she'.
The passive format "were + V3 (forgiven)" should be changed into the active format "V2 (forgave)".
This is the active and passive voice rule for the past simple tense.

Answer : 3. "A large pizza was being eaten by him."
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 'He' is the subject and 'a large pizza' is the object.
When we convert this sentence into passive voice, the subject 'He' of the active voice becomes the object 'him', the object 'a large pizza' becomes the subject.
The passive format "was + being + V3 (eaten)" should be used.
This is the active and passive voice rule for the past continuous tense.
Hence, the correct answer is option 3.

Answer : 2. "He was laughed at by all his friends."
Explanation :

The given sentence is in Active Voice. As per the given question we have to change it into Passive Voice.
The structure of the given sentence as follows:
Subject + V2+ Object. (Active Voice)
Subject (objective case)+ was/were + V3 + Object (subjective case). (Passive Voice)
Example:
Their cousin showed them some rare photographs. (Active Voice)
They were shown some rare photographs by their cousin. (Passive Voice).
The subject of the given sentence is 'All his friends'.
The object of the given sentence is 'him'.
The subject will be put in place of the object and the object will be put in place of the subject.
And 'laughed' will be changed into 'was laughed'. Lastly, the 'by' preposition will be added.
Therefore, as per the points mentioned above, we find that the correct answer is Option 2.

Explanation :

The given sentence is in the active form and we need to change it to the passive form.
The given sentence is written in the simple present tense.

Change the subject into an object. Change the verb into the past participle form.
Change the object into the subject. Therefore, the correct answer is option 3.

The clothes are washed by Priya in the evening.
