Пояснення:

Розберемо кожне речення. Однак перед цим необхідно роз'яснити деякі моменти.

• Як утворюється Passive Voice у Past Simple? Якщо коротко, то  треба взяти дієслово to be (was/were) + 3 форма дієслова, якщо воно неправильне. Більше можна подивтися на табличці.

• by/with. Прийменник by використовується в пасивному стані з дійовою особою. Наприклад: The flowers were delivered by a postman. - Квіти приніс листоноша. The state of Florida was hit by a hurricane that did serious damage - На штат Флорида обрушився ураган, який завдав серйозної шкоди.
• Якщо в пасивному стані акцент стоїть на предметі, інструменті, матеріалі або інгредієнті, за допомогою якого здійснювалася дія, використовується прийменник with:The spider was killed by the boy with a stone. - Хлопець убив павука каменем.The door was opened with a crowbar. - Двері відчинили ломом.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. The cake were baked by my sister. cake - однина, тому замість were повинно бути was
2. The car stolen from the parking lot. - само по собі речення написане в Passive Voice, однак неправильно складене. Щоб утворити Passive Voice, треба додати was до дієслова stolen.
3. The book was write by the famous author. - бачимо, що речення написано в пасиві, однак сам пасив неправильно утворений. Щоб його утворити, write треба замінити на written.
4. The meal was been prepared by the chef. конструкції was been prepared не існує в англійській мові. Це або Past Perfect Passive (had been prepared), або Past Simple Passive (was prepared). Я оберу Past Simple Passive тому що усі реченні подані саме в цьому часі. Приберемо been і отримаємо: The meal was prepared by the chef.
5. The house was build by the contractor. Бачимо пасив, який неправильно утворений, адже 3 форма  дієслова to build - built. Виправимо і отримаємо: The house was built by the contractor.
6. The artwork was painted with the artist. Художник у даному реченні - дійова особа, тому варто замінити with на by.
7. The packages was delivered by the postman. packages - множина, тому треба замінити was на were.
8. The movie was directed on the famous filmmaker. режисер - дійова особа, треба замінити on на by.
9. The letter typed by the secretary. Речення написано в пасиві, але складено неправильно. Щоб виправити його, вставимо was.
10. The project becompleted by the team. becompleted - це нісенитниця. Виправимо be на was, щоб правильно утворити Passive Voice: The project was completed by the team
