Explanation

The sentence is converted into passive voice by making "a strange noise" the subject, and "could be heard" retains the modal verb structure.

This aligns with proper grammar and meaning.

Explanation

In passive voice, the subject becomes the receiver of the action.

"The table was set by us" correctly expresses this by focusing on the table as the object of the action.

Passive voice emphasizes the action being done to the subject (the table).

"The table was set by us" shifts the focus from who set the table (us) to the table itself.

Explanation

In passive voice, the object "him" becomes the subject, and "saw" changes to "was seen."

The phrase "leaving the house" remains the same.

Explanation
