Brief Explanations

To emphasize whom/what the action was done to, we need to use the passive voice. The original sentence is in the active voice. The passive voice structure for past tense is "was/were + past participle". The object of the active - voice sentence ("the slippery clams") becomes the subject of the passive - voice sentence. The verb "dropped" is the past tense of "drop", and its past participle is also "dropped". Since the subject "the slippery clams" is plural, we use "were".

Answer:

The slippery clams were dropped onto the beach by Squidward Tentacles.
