Passive voice
Hello, please help me to check some sentences below, I'm trying to change the active form to passive form.
1. Too much money makes some people rather greedy.
>Some people are made rather greedy by too much money.
or Some people are made to be rather greedy by too much money.
2. Peter sent my brother home.
>My brother was sent home.
or My brother was sent to home.
Thanks a lot.

For the first sentence, your first variant is perfect! The second one is not technically wrong, but using "to be" seems a little extraneous...
For your second sentence, here is my proposal: My brother was sent home by Peter. I think it is better to leave out the "to" in "sent to home."
