1.He scored twenty runs.
Rzqust [24]

Answer:

1. Twenty runs were scored by him.

2. Character is revealed through manners.

3. He is loved by everyone.

4. Good news is expected by us.

5. My bicycle has been sold by me.

Explanation:

When we turn a sentence from the active to the passive voice,  we first analyze the active sentence. In this sentence, we have to identify the verb, the subject, and the direct object.

To turn the sentence into the passive, the direct object moves to the subject's position. Then, we add an auxiliary,  if the original sentence was in the past, the auxiliary must be in the past, but if the original sentence was in the present, the auxiliary must be in the present. After the auxiliary, we always write the verb conjugated in the past participle form. Following the verb, we put the preposition by and what used to be the subject in the active.
