Default Re: From Active to Passive

Strictly speaking, the sentence "The woman is bringing drinks for the guests" has only one object, "drinks". "For the guests" is a prepositional phrase. If you want to use two objects for the ditransitive verb "bring", you should rephrase it like this:
"The woman is bringing the guests drinks"

As for the passivization, both sentences are correct
