In the active voice sentences the operator of an activity is the subject in the sentence, so in sentence A we can see how <em>Drew</em> as a subject operated a nerf gun and pulled the triger, where nurf gun and trigger represent the objects.
In the passive voice sentences, construction - <u><em>Object from the active sentence becomes subject of passive + verb TO BE in the appropriate tense + main verb (from the active) in Past Participle </em></u>- is characteristic. This pattern can be recognized in sentences B, C and D.
The sentence had repetitive words replaced with synonyms and pronouns. "but my father disliked..." is too much alike to "my father disliked" so it would get tedious and harder to read. They replaced it with "but he hated ... " to get some variation.
