The correct answer is option 3 i.e. The Editor published the news.

Explanation:      

Changing the above sentence from Active to Passive:

• In Active Voice, a sentence emphasizes the subject doing an action.
• In Passive Voice, a sentence emphasizes the action or object.
• The given sentence is in the passive voice, and "the audience" is the subject, and "the seats" is the objec

     ​

 Point to note

          When changing the above sentence

• The active format "Subject + Helping verb + Main verb + Object" is used.

• This is the rule for changing passive to active for past indefinite tense.

• Thus, "The Editor published the news" is the correct active voice.

• In the above sentence, you will notice there is no doer in the passive voice. Read it like this- The news was published (by whom?)

• In case of the absence of a doer, we assume a general doer to form an active voice.

• The news is published by the Editor of a newspaper.

• Hence, option 2 which says the people publish the news is incorrect.

Correct sentence - The Editor published the news.

The correct answer is such a person that​.

Key Points

• He likes not only milk cake but other sweets.

• He likes not only milk cake but also other sweets.

• The conjunction 'such...that' is used to express an effect (result) of the remarkable situation mentioned in the main clause.

• Since the sentence talks about the subject being some kind of a person and the effect it had on his friend, 'such a person that' will be used in the underlined part of the sentence.​

​Correct Sentence: He is not such a person that will betray a friend.
