Answer 2

Inessential comforts and luxuries used to be avoided by my austere father.

The above sentence is in the active voice. In the solution, the voice has been changed to that of a passive voice.

While making these changes a few things are to be kept in mind. There are as follows-

• There is usually an addition of the word 'by' when a sentence is in the passive voice.
• It is usually placed towards the end of the sentence, before the subject.
• However, this can be avoided only when the subject can be easily assumed or guessed.
• The intended meaning of the sentence should be left untouched.
