Please refer to Explanation

Explanation:

Passive form is used when the subject is not the one to be emphasized but rather the action itself as well as the object. For example, instead of saying, " He stole my laptop", you say, "My laptop was stolen by him" if it is a Present Simple Tense. Using a Past Continuous Tense you would say, "My Laptop WAS BEING STOLEN by him" instead of, " He was stealing my laptop".

The corrective Passive forms for the following are,

2. John looked back. He thought he WAS BEING FOLLOWED.

3 Last time Tina went clubbing, her phone WAS STOLEN.

4 Police are investigating the robbery but nobody HAS BEEN ARRESTED.

5 As I'm writing this, three suspects ARE BEING QUESTIONED.

6 A press conference WILL BE HELD tomorrow.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
