passive:
Both sides of the paper have been used by Frank.
Both sides of the paper was used by Frank.
Both sides of the paper were used by Frank.
Both sides of the paper was being used by Frank.
Answer explanation
active: Frank used both sides of the paper.
"used" is simple past tense.
To change it into passive, it should be "was/were + p.p.".
We choose "were" because "sides" is plural（眾數）。
"was" is for singular nouns (沒有s那些）。
