1) I was told not to go out by my parents.
First, we need to change the subject of the sentence from "my parents" to "I". Then, we need to use the structure "be + past participle" to rewrite the sentence in the passive voice. Finally, we add the phrase "by my parents" to indicate who told me not to go out.

2) Mr. Brown was woken up by the alarm clock at 6 in the morning.
First, we need to change the subject of the sentence from "the alarm clock" to "Mr. Brown". Then, we need to use the past participle form of the verb "wake" to rewrite the sentence in the passive voice. Finally, we add the phrase "at 6 in the morning" to indicate the time.

3) This dress was made for me by my mother last week.
First, we need to change the subject of the sentence from "my mother" to "this dress". Then, we need to use the past participle form of the verb "make" to rewrite the sentence in the passive voice. Finally, we add the phrase "by my mother" to indicate who made the dress and "last week" to indicate when it was made.

4) The presentations were made by the students at the last lesson.
First, we need to change the subject of the sentence from "the students" to "the presentations". Then, we need to use the past participle form of the verb "make" to rewrite the sentence in the passive voice. Finally, we add the phrase "at the last lesson" to indicate when the presentations were made.

5) The book was published the other day.
We do not need to make any changes to this sentence because it is already in the passive voice.

6) Was the last ball scored by Andy?
First, we need to change the subject of the sentence from "Andy" to "the last ball". Then, we need to use the past participle form of the verb "score" to rewrite the sentence in the passive voice. Finally, we add the question word "Was" at the beginning of the sentence to indicate that it is a question.

7) The solution wasn't found by the engineers yesterday.
First, we need to change the subject of the sentence from "the engineers" to "the solution". Then, we need to use the past participle form of the verb "find" to rewrite the sentence in the passive voice. Finally, we add the phrase "yesterday" to indicate when the solution was not found.

8) Were their neighborhood kept clean last year?
First, we need to change the subject of the sentence from "they" to "their neighborhood". Then, we need to use the past participle form of the verb "keep" to rewrite the sentence in the passive voice. Finally, we add the question word "Were" at the beginning of the sentence to indicate that it is a question.

9) A lot of spelling mistakes were made by Kate in her last dictation.
First, we need to change the subject of the sentence from "Kate" to "a lot of spelling mistakes". Then, we need to use the past participle form of the verb "make" to rewrite the sentence in the passive voice.
