Explanation:

Passive voice is described as the grammatical construction in which the object and the action stated by the verb are emphasized rather than the subject. The subject in such construction becomes the recipient of the action and is acted upon(by the verb). It helps in showing interest in the noun(in object place) which undergoes the action instead of the doer(subject) who performs it.

In order to convert the given sentences from the active voice to the passive voice, the object will be substituted with the subject in order to shift the emphasis. Since the subject is the recipient of the action, it can be omitted or written using 'by' as mentioned above.

Using figurative speech, describe a beautiful person's features?

Use Concrete Examples The best place to start with your character description is with concrete examples. To say that a character has "brown hair" doesn't create nearly the image as saying that a character has long dreadlocks. Think about what kind of clothes the character wears, whether a character has freckles or moles, whether her teeth are straight or crooked or what kind of scars he has. 
Make Examples Do More Avoid overloading your reader with a list of details about each character's appearance. 
To create a vivid image of your character without spending a lot of time on minutia, choose details that have a ripple effect on the description.
