Question

The deadline dates for the construction ______ by the architect.

(A) have changed
(B) was changed
(C) have been changed
(D) was being changed

I think it’s D.

New safety requirements ___________ by the government.

1. Have created
2. will Create
3. would create
4. were Created

I think it’s 4.

but both the question has similar structure. Hence if 2nd one is 4, then why not the 1st one is B.

I am getting confused.

Please help.

amit82The deadline dates for the construction have been changed by the architect.

Dates is plural. Consequently a plural verb (have) is needed.

amit82New safety requirements were created by the government.
A lowercase c in 'created'. 'Have created' is an active verb form. The passive voice is needed in your second sentence.

amit82The deadline dates for the construction ____ by the architect.

'Dates' is plural, so D is not possible. The answer is C.

amit82New safety requirements _________ by the government. 4. were Created

The answer is indeed #4.

Thanks CB for your quick input.

for the 1st question, if "were changed" and "have been changed" both were present in the options then which one would have been correct?

2ndly if only "were changed" present and not "have been changed" present then, should we consider "were changed" as solution?

Please help.

Both are correct grammatically. The choice of the tense would depend on other factors. I don't understand your second question.
