★ Required Explanation :-

• In the first question, the given parts of speech of 'popular' is adjective. Usually change of parts of speech can transform them into noun, adjective, verb and adverb. Here the adjective has been changed into noun. Be verb generally takes adjective after it. So for transforming the adjective into noun, the be verb has been placed by the new verb 'achieved'.
• In the 2nd question, for forming and joining the sentences into a simple sentence, one finite verb 'heard' has been placed by 'hearing'. Therefore, in the sentence, now, it is one finite verb and it's simple sentence.
• In the 3rd question, while changing the narration, the reporting verb is changed into requested for 'please'. The verb of the reported speech takes infinitive form.
