Good effort Zohaib Ahmed. But here I would like to make a bit correction regarding Passive Voice. Passive voization is basically a change which turns a transitive verbs into an intransitive one. The sentences with intransitive verb (having no direct object) cant be changed into passive voice. Some of the above referred sentences(in blue) have intransitive verbs which cant be changed into passive voice..
I suspect the first sentence also.
Anyone can make correction if I am wrong.

Don't worry! All are correct. I post all from the best books.
These all can be changed.
I shall give reasons along-with answers soon.

Thanks for appreciation and giving profound consideration.

A few candidates took part. Not, so Good!

Correct answers are.

4. The car ran over the Dog.
Answer: The dog was overrun by the car.
5. The army passed by the town.
Answer: The town was bypassed by the army.

NOTE: The car ran over the Dog and The army passed by the town.. These two sentences have prepositional phrases, Ran over and passed by, which consist of a verb followed by a preposition. But, in passive voice construction these prepositions change their places and are put before the verb and form a single word with them. i.e. overrun, bypassed.
