Answer 31

Its because of the syntax in the sentence, or specifically the arrangement of verbs
Instead of someone doing something something is being done
That's confusing so here are some examples:
Active-
She borrowed my smartphone.
He created a new puzzle app.
Albert Einstein wrote a letter to discourage use of the atomic bomb.
Passive-
My smartphone was borrowed by her.
The puzzle app was created by him.
The letter to discourage use of the atomic bomb was written by Albert Einstein.
