Ok, let's complete the sentences using the Past Simple passive voice. 2. A Japanese artist painted that vase. That vase **was painted by a Japanese artist.** Explanation: The passive voice is formed using "was/were" + past participle (the third form of the verb). Here, "that vase" is the object that becomes the subject of the passive sentence. 3. Levi Strauss and Jacob Davis produced the first pair of jeans. The first pair of jeans **was produced by Levi Strauss and Jacob Davis.** Explanation: Again, "the first pair of jeans" becomes the subject, and we use "was" because it's singular, followed by the past participle "produced". 4. An Italian composer wrote these operas. These operas **were written by an Italian composer.** Explanation: "These operas" is plural, so we use "were" instead of "was", followed by the past participle "written". 5. Some local children found the treasure. The treasure **was found by some local children.** Explanation: "The treasure" is singular, so we use "was", followed by the past participle "found". 6. In 1911 Vincenzo Peruggia stole the Mona Lisa. The Mona Lisa **was stolen by Vincenzo Peruggia in 1911.** Explanation: "The Mona Lisa" is singular, so we use "was", followed by the past participle "stolen". We also included the year "in 1911" at the end to keep the meaning of the original sentence. **Summary of Answers:** 2. That vase **was painted by a Japanese artist.** 3. The first pair of jeans **was produced by Levi Strauss and Jacob Davis.** 4. These operas **were written by an Italian composer.** 5. The treasure **was found by some local children.** 6.
