Question 1:
The ballots ___________ (to count) several hours ago.
A. were counted
Feedback When we don't know who carries out the action, or it is obvious or unimportant to us, we use the Passive voice. The Passive is formed: BE + Past Participle. In this sentence the action took place at a certain time in the past, so we use the Past Simple Passive.
B. is counted
C. are counted
D. counted
