Answer 1

1.to be stopped; to worry
2.to be/to have been( I think both are correct, but we use “to have been” when action was in a past, and “to be” is used to express action in general, but I’d say that “to have been” is better here); to have worked
3.to see it; being repeated
4.to have escaped; to be living
5. to have been murdered
