To answer this question, we first have to be clear about what the passive voice is.
In the active voice, the subject is also the one who does the action. For example: I kicked the ball. In this sentence, the subject is "I." The subject is performing the action of kicking.
In the passive voice, however, the subject is not the doer. Instead, the subject of the sentence is acted upon. Consider this example: The ball was kicked by me. The subject is "the ball." Of course, the ball is not doing the kicking. Rather, the ball is being acted upon -- it is being kicked BY someone.
A major clue that the passive voice is being used is the presence of a being verb. A being verb is any form of the verb "to be" -- am, is, are, was, were, be, being, or been.
Now, in the above examples, only option B. appears to have a being verb. However, let's double check.
In the other options, the pronoun "We" is the subject, and "we" are the ones playing, talking, and enjoying. That means answers A, C, and D. are all rewritten in the active voice.
In option B, "Play," "talk" and "a good time" are the subjects of the sentence. Of course, these things can do nothing on their own. This sentence also has being verbs present (the verb "was"), meaning this sentence is written in the passive voice.
For this reason, option B. is the correct answer.

Hello. You forgot to add the information that must be evaluated so that this question can be answered. Also, you forgot to say that this question is about the article "See if I care". The information to be evaluated is:
"[Grady Maxwell] has grown in my mind over the yars, and so too has his importabce to my story
Answer:
According to the information above, the narrator spent her years maintaining a certain grief from Grady Maxwell, which indicates that the narrator did not release her bitterness at losing her job
Explanation:
As we read the text, we can see that the narrator blames Grady Maxwell for the loss of her job and for all the defeat she went through as a result. Even over the years, the narrator reveals that she never stopped thinking that Grady Maxwell is her greatest enemy and the main responsible for her defeat. She claims that she doesn't hate him, but the narration allows us to realize that she maintains a strong hurt and a certain anger for everything she believes he has caused.
