Answer 1

Hola, la estructura de voz pasiva es
Sujeto + verbo auxiliar (to be) + participio pasado+ by+ ....
Entonces, secretos rápidos cuando vease by es voz pasiva.

En B y C hay  "By" por ello los descartamos.
En la B y D:  no hay sentido de oración por esta mal redactados el orden de las palabras.
La respuesta correcta es la "A"

Saludos
