I think there are two reasons that you're not getting many replies:
1) The original "simple" sentences are not very well-written, making them harder to convert to "passive".
2) Some of the examples also don't work well in the passive at all, making it something of a waste of time to convert them.

I hope most of my suggestions are good

No problem
By the way, I chose the wrong smiley after the a (one).
I think either a or one should be used, not both.
I have the feeling this sentence is messed up:
The police was being pledged to complain to by Peter, after a drunken man collided his car during going to his job.
The being seems wrong to me, but also the complete first structure seems to be weird.
Unfortunately, I don't have any idea here
The rest looks okay to me, at least I'm not seeing any serious mistakes...
Cheers!
