Preview: Explanations
1."Fresh meals are prepared by the chef every day."(b)
Present simple passive: subject + am/is/are + past participle. 'Fresh meals' is plural → 'are prepared'. The tense stays present simple.
2."This building was designed by a famous architect."(a)
Past simple passive: subject + was/were + past participle. 'Designed' is past simple → passive uses 'was designed'. 'This building' is singular → 'was'.
3."The bridge is being painted by the workers."(b)
Present continuous passive: subject + is/are + being + past participle. The action is happening right now → 'is being painted'.
4."My bicycle has been stolen."(a)
Present perfect passive: subject + has/have + been + past participle. When the agent is 'someone' (unknown/unimportant), we omit the 'by' phrase.
5."The new product will be launched by the company next month."(c)
Future simple passive: subject + will + be + past participle. 'Will launch' → 'will be launched'.
