Put the verbs in brackets into the correct passive tense.

Questions and Answers

1.

That's a beautiful dress. Where did you buy it? B: Actually, it ________ (make) for me by my aunt.

Explanation
The correct answer is "was made". This is because the sentence is in the past tense and the verb "made" needs to be in the past tense to match. "Has been made" is incorrect because it is in the present perfect tense, which is not appropriate for this sentence.

The correct answer is "had already been made". This is because B is saying that the coffee was already made before they arrived at work. The use of "had" indicates that the action of making the coffee occurred before another past event (B arriving at work). The use of "been made" implies that someone else made the coffee.

6.

A: Has the new furniture for my bedroom arrived? B: No. lt ________ (not / deliver) yet.

Explanation
The correct answer is "hasn't been delivered, hasn't been delivered, has not been delivered." This is because the question is asking about the arrival of the new furniture, which implies that it has not been delivered yet. The negative form of the verb "deliver" is used in the answer to indicate that the furniture has not been delivered. The contraction "hasn't" is also a valid form of "has not" in this context.

Explanation
The correct answer is "will be opened." This is because the conversation is discussing a future event, the opening of a new sports center. The use of "will" indicates a future action, and "be opened" is the correct verb form to use in this context.
