Explanation:

The given sentences and their changed versions are as follows-

a. All is well, isn't it?

Here, the question tag is in the negative as the statement is positive.

b. Is Sony writing a letter?

The interrogative sentence means changing the sentence into question form.

c. How long has he been living in that house?

By using the "how long" form, we remove the answer "for one year" out of the question.

d. Please don't make so much noise. I am reading.

Here, since the event is a present scene, we are using the present continuous form of the verb "read".

e. Amrita requested me to help her.

Reported speech changes the quoted form of the speech and used the past form of the main verb.

f. Data was collected by Rama.

Passive voice is when the subject is acted upon by the verb. Here, the subject is moved to the end of the sentence and the object comes to the front of the sentence.

g. She has arrived home.

An affirmative sentence means a sentence that is positive. So, we changed the "hasn't" to "has".

h. Did she write a poem?

Writing a yes/no question means asking a question to the answer of either "yes/no".

i. I was not invited to the party by anyone. or I was not invited by anyone to the party.

Same as sentence f.

j. He told me not to waste my time.

Same with sentence e.
