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 there! I would go with answer D. an exploration of ideas!
This would be the best option especially because the type of essay isn't specified. A would define a persuasive essay; and B and C would define an informative essay. As I said earlier, the type of essay is not specified in the question, so D would be you answer since it is also a valid definition.
I hope this helps & have a great rest of your day! :)
Answer:
Ishmael says that when he goes to sea he prefers going “as a simple sailor” (Melville 20) to going “as a Commodore, or a Captain” (Melville 19). He rather abandons “the glory and distinction of such offices to those who like them” (Melville 19) as he has enough responsibility for taking care of himself.
