1. Some people claimed that the storm was the worst in history.
The storm was claimed to be the worst in history by some people.

To complete the second sentence, we start by rephrasing the original sentence using the word "claimed". This means that we need to change the structure of the sentence to use passive voice. The subject "the storm" becomes the object "the storm was", and the verb "was" is followed by the past participle "claimed". Finally, we add the phrase "by some people" to show who made the claim.

2. In the past, garlic was believed to protect you from illness.
In the past, garlic was believed to keep you safe from illness.

In this case, we need to use the word "believed" to complete the sentence with a similar meaning. Again, we change the structure to passive voice, so "people thought" becomes "garlic was believed". We keep the same preposition "from" before "illness", but instead of the word "protected", we use "keep you safe".

3. My brother loves being carried on my shoulders.
My brother loves when I carry him on my shoulders.

To complete the sentence, we use the word "carried". However, since it is in the past tense, we need to adjust the verb "carry" accordingly and use a past tense form "carried". We also replace the pronoun "it" with "when" to maintain the same meaning.

4. This door ought to be mended as soon as possible.
This door should be mended urgently.

To complete the sentence, we use the word "mended". Again, we change the structure to passive voice, so "someone should mend" becomes "this door should be mended". Finally, we replace the phrase "as soon as possible" with "urgently" to retain the sense of urgency.

A concert was given for parents at the end of term.
Parents were given a concert at the end of term.

To complete the sentence, we use the word "given". Again, we change the structure to passive voice, so "a concert was held for parents" becomes "parents were given a concert". We keep the phrase "at the end of term" as it is.
