Correct Answer: I am obliged to stay in the Netherlands for a year till I finish my course.

Solution : The third option is correct.

Passive voice is the voice in which the object experiences an action rather than the person who performs the action. Hence, the object in the active sentence becomes the subject in the passive voice.

The structure of the passive voice is: "Singular object + am + past participle form of the verb + prepositional phrase."

Therefore, the passive voice sentence would be: "I am obliged to stay in the Netherlands for a year till I finish my course."

Correct Answer: Cyclone Amphan has devastated hundreds of villages in West Bengal.

Solution : The correct choice is the first option.

In this sentence, the subject (Cyclone Amphan) is performing the action (devastating), making it an active construction.

The active voice structure in the following sentence follows the structure: Subject + has + past participle of the main verb + object + additional information. 

The original sentence you provided is in the passive voice, where the focus is on the villages being devastated rather than explicitly stating who or what caused the devastation. The active form clarifies that it was Cyclone Amphan that caused the destruction.

Therefore, the correct answer is: Cyclone Amphan has devastated hundreds of villages in West Bengal.
