Explanation
The given question consists of four sub-questions which are to be rewritten by not changing their meaning and following the instructions that have been stated for each.
a. Don't break the expensive vase.
This sentence has to be begun with "Let", as per the given instruction.
This is an imperative sentence. And generally, imperative sentences are begun with "Let" while turning them to passive voice.
Structure:
Let + object + be + past participle
⠀⠀⠀↠ Object · the expensive vase
⠀⠀⠀↠ Past participle · broken
Hence, the required answer is: [[ Let the expensive vase not be broken. ]]
b. I haven't done any work this week.
Here, it is instructed to begin the sentence with "No work".
Let's try by turning this sentence into passive voice.
Structure:
Object + auxiliary verb + past participle + by + subject
⠀⠀⠀↠ Object · no work
⠀⠀⠀↠ Auxiliary verb · has (been)
⠀⠀⠀↠ Past participle · done
⠀⠀⠀↠ Subject · me
You may doubt why have we changed "any work" as "no work" in the object part. It is because, the sentence is actually negative. So, it is obviously appropriate to use "no work" as the object.
Therefore, the answer is: [[ No work has been done by me this week. ]]
c. Were you interrogated by the official?
This sentence should be rewritten using the word "Interrogate", i.e., the verb has to be written in its base form without changing the tense.
A sentence in simple past tense can be written with base form of the verb only if we include "did" in place of auxiliary verb. In this case, these changes can be done only if we write it in active voice.
Structure:
Auxiliary verb + subject + base form of verb + object + ?
⠀⠀⠀↠ Auxiliary verb · did
⠀⠀⠀↠ Subject · the official
⠀⠀⠀↠ Base form of verb · interrogate
⠀⠀⠀↠ Object · you
Hence, the answer is: [[ Did the official interrogate you? ]]
d. The book is being read by most of the class.
The instruction given here is to end the sentence with "the book".
In this sentence, "the book" is the object. And we know that the object is written at the end, only in active voice.
Structure:
Subject + auxiliary verb + verb(ing) + object
⠀⠀⠀↠ Subject · most of the class
⠀⠀⠀↠ Auxiliary verb · are
⠀⠀⠀↠ Verb(ing) · reading
⠀⠀⠀↠ Object · the book
Therefore, the required answer is: [[ Most of the class are reading the book. ]]
