Explanation (Объяснение)

Active Voice (действительный залог) используется, когда подлежащее само выполняет действие.

Например: A preparatory faculty teaches Russian language. — Подготовительный факультет преподаёт русский язык.

Passive Voice (страдательный залог) используется, когда действие направлено на подлежащее.

Формула: am / is / are + V3 (Present Simple Passive) или was / were + V3 (Past Simple Passive).

Например: Moscow State University was founded in 1755. — Московский государственный университет был основан в 1755 году.

Важно: В предложениях 1 и 11 глагол is выступает в роли глагола-связки, а не формы страдательного залога. В предложении 12 более естественный порядок слов в современном английском — It keeps its doors open, но для данного упражнения правильная форма в пропуске — keeps.
