Answer

B
We were given new toothbrushes by the hygienist.

Calm music played quietly in the dentist’s office.
D
We arrived early for our annual dental check-ups.

Explanation

In passive voice, the subject receives the action rather than performing it. In “We were given new toothbrushes by the hygienist,” “we” received the toothbrushes, and “were given” is the passive verb phrase. The other sentences describe subjects performing actions or events happening.
