I'd like to ask you a question about this honorific form. I will give an example as detailed as possible to make this question clear.
The verb yomu is often used in passive form to show respect:
先生が新聞を読まれました - the addressee is not teacher, so is the passive form with the plain ending is used
先生、新聞を読まれましたか。 - the addressee is the adressess, so the passive form with the polite ending is used.
This honorific form compete with others such お読みになる (Honorific prefix + Renyoukei verbal stem + NI NARU). That is why I would like to know for which verbs, the passive honorific form is preferred to the Honorific prefix + Renyou verb + NI NARU
