The correct answer is rewrite the sentence as a question.

The difference between an active and a passive sentence is that in the active one, the subject is performing an action, and in the passive one, it is receiving a particular action. So this means that you need to move the actor and the receiver to their new respective positions, but also completely revise the structure of the verb into a passive one.

For example:

John is writing a letter. (active)

A letter is being written by John. (passive)

What we do not need to do is create a question - a question can still be either active or passive, so that wouldn't change anything.

The correct answer for the question that is being presented above is this one: "rewrite the sentence as a question." When revising an active sentence into a passive sentence, then you have to revise the structure of the verb, move the actor to the subject position, move the receiver to thepredicate.
