Answer:
Read the excerpt from The Dark Game.
Explanation:
On several occasions Room 40 received an unexpected but welcome gift when a German codebook was recovered after a sea battle and presented to the British code breakers. One such gift was a codebook from the German ship Magdeburg, a light cruiser that ran aground on an island off of Finland. When Russian ships quickly bore down on the cruiser, the captain of the stranded ship immediately did what all naval officers were taught to do: he ordered his signalman to bring him the ship's codebook so he could throw the book, wrapped in lead covers, into the sea. But before the signalman could deliver the book to his captain, he was killed by Russian guns. When the Russians recovered his body, the sailor was still clutching the codebook in his arms.

Answer: Sentences 2, 4 and 5 are written in passive voice.
Explanation:
We use passive voice when we want to put an emphasis on the action and the object, rather than subject. In other words, subject is either insignificant in that particular case, or we do not know who/what the subject is. The object from the active sentence becomes the subject in the passive sentence.
For example, active sentence is: <em>One of my favorite authors wrote </em><em><u>that book</u></em>, while passive sentence is: <em><u>That book</u></em><em> was written by one of my favorite authors</em>.
We form passive from the auxiliary verb (often verb <em>to be</em>) and past participle.
