Question 1 Explanation:

The sentence is of the present perfect form ‘ has/have + past participle form of the verb’. Its conversion will be like ‘has/have + been + past participle form of the verb’. Only option © matches to the conversion structure, hence it is the right answer.

A	Unnecessary honking of horn ought to be avoided.
B	Unnecessary honking of horn can be avoided.
C	Unnecessary honking of horn should be avoided.
D	Unnecessary honking of horn must be avoided.

Question 2 Explanation:

The basic rule of active passive voice is that that the meaning of the sentence should not be altered. A close observation reveals that leaving aside option (c), all other options change the meanings by using the words ‘ought’ ‘can’ and ‘must’. Therefore, option © would be correct. Also, it follows the rules of conversion too.

Question 3 Explanation:
