The Passive Voice
Hello people! 
I have an english test tomorrow and I need help. That test/exam will test our knowledge in the Passive Voice, but there are some things that aren't clear to me.
Here are some exercises that are going to be on test:
1. Change the sentences into the present passive:
a) Lots of children watch TV.
b) My brother is cooking dinner.
c) We eat too many sweets.
My answers:
a) TV is watched by lots of children.
b) Dinner is cooked by my brother. (is or was??)
c) Too many sweets are eaten by us. - (Hmm? Is it right? It doesn't make sense for me.)
2. Write the questions in the passive:
a) Who/television/invent/by?
b) When/Gandhi/kill?
c) Where/first plane/fly?
My answers:
a) Who invented television by?
b) When was Gandhi killed? (Or... ? I don't know! It really makes me angry!
)
c) Where did first plane fly? (I know it isn't right, but I don't have any idea how to do it)
That's what I want to know. Will someone find some time to take a look at this and tell me what's wrong and what's right?
Thanks in advance.

1b. Dinner is being cooked by my brother
2a. By whom television was invented?
2b. Where was first plane flown?
I would do it this way. The rest, I think, is ok.
