Doing as directed :
(a) He is so fat that he cannot run fast.
(b) She shall be seen.
OR
She shall be seen by us.
(c) On hearing the happy news, he was overjoyed.
• In the first question, 'too' can be removed by using so that.
• The second question is in active voice. To change its voice, we have to make it passive.
• A passive voice can be written by bringing the subject in front followed by the action performed on the subject followed by the agent performing the action.
• Here, 'she' is the subject, 'shall be seen' is the action performed on her, and 'us' is the agent which can be either written as 'by us' or omitted.
• In the third question, the sentences can be combined by replacing the full-stop with a comma and starting with "On hearing," as directed.
