Немного поясню, почему именно они:

• Passive Voice образуется по схеме to be + V3 (past participle), и в таких предложениях главный «герой» получает действие, а не выполняет его сам.

• В каждом из выбранных предложений есть форма глагола to be (was / are / will be) и третья форма смыслового глагола (sent, taken, watered, told, discussed, opened, asked, decorated).

Разберём пару примеров:

• The letter was sent two days ago.
  – Было сделано действие с письмом (его отправили), письмо само ничего не делает → пассив.

• The plants are watered every day.
  – С растениями что-то делают каждый день (их поливают) → пассив.

• A new shop will be opened in three days.
  – Магазин сам себя не «откроет», его кто-то откроет → пассив.

Остальные предложения (1, 3, 6, 8, 11, 13) – это Active Voice, потому что в них подлежащее само выполняет действие:

• I visited my grandparents (кто делал действие? – I)

• Kate phoned her friend (кто звонил? – Kate) и т.д.
