The simple present passive form is "is hated" because the subject is singular.

The present continuous passive form is "is being eaten".

Wrong!
The future passive form uses the past participle, so the correct answer is "will be built".

The simple past passive form is "was given" because "I" receives the action.

Wrong!
The simple past passive form is "was cheated" because the action happened in the past.
10I have sent the parcel. The parcel ............... by me.
Wrong!
The present perfect passive form is "has been sent" because "parcel" is singular.
