"Change the following sentences into a question form" is thoroughly ambiguous to me. Without context or specimen answers I wouldn't know what they were asking for (I'm assuming that you've copied this instruction verbatim from the exercise). "What questions would elicit the following answers?" is one possibility, but it's not the only one, and it's not even the one that comes first to my mind.
