Explanation

Passive voice is used when the focus is on the action rather than the performer of the action. In passive voice, the object of the action becomes the subject of the sentence, and the performer of the action is either omitted or introduced in a prepositional phrase.

(a) Let them do it now.

- The subject is "them" and the verb is "do".
- To change it into passive voice, the object "it" becomes the subject and "do" becomes "done".
- The sentence becomes "Now let it be done by them."

(b) It surprised me to hear someone had robbed you.

- The subject is "someone" and the verb is "robbed".
- To change it into passive voice, the object "you" becomes the subject and "robbed" becomes "had been robbed by someone".
- The sentence becomes "I was surprised to hear that you had been robbed by someone."

(c) Hurry up, please.

- The subject is implied "you" and the verb is "hurry up".
- To change it into passive voice, the subject remains the same and the verb becomes "be hurried up".
- The sentence becomes "Please be hurried up."

(d) Stand up on the bench.

- The subject is implied "you" and the verb is "stand up".
- To change it into passive voice, the subject remains the same and the verb becomes "be stood up on".
- The sentence becomes "Let the bench be stood up on."

(e) One should keep one's promise.

- The subject is "one" and the verb is "should keep".
- To change it into passive voice, the subject "one" becomes the object and "should keep" becomes "should be kept".
- The sentence becomes "Promise should be kept by one."

(f) The rose smells sweet.

- The subject is "rose" and the verb is "smells".
- To change it into passive voice, the subject "rose" becomes the object and "smells" becomes "is given off".
- The sentence becomes "Sweet smell is given off by the rose."
