Passive voice is formed with the word ‘by’ not ‘of’.
The verb ‘to comprise of’ can exist and have a different meaning that ‘to comprise’ or its passive ‘to be comprised by’ - and have a different passive (to be comprised of).
Like, the verbs ‘smell’ and ‘smell of’ do not mean the same thing, nor is one the passive of the other.
- I smell roses
- roses are smelled by me
- I smell of roses
- roses are smelled of by me
Four very different meanings.
