Решение:

Чтобы правильно выполнить задание, нужно вспомнить структуру Past Simple Passive: was/were + V3 (причастие прошедшего времени). Также нужно правильно образовать форму V3 от глаголов в скобках.

• 1. Our passports were taken by a tall woman in a uniform. (Глагол 'take' имеет форму V3 'taken'. 'Passports' - множественное число, поэтому используем 'were').
• 2. These books were left in the classroom on Monday. (Глагол 'leave' имеет форму V3 'left'. 'Books' - множественное число, поэтому используем 'were').
• 3. I don't think this room was cleaned yesterday. (Глагол 'clean' имеет форму V3 'cleaned'. 'Room' - единственное число, поэтому используем 'was').
• 4. We were met at the airport by a driver from the university. (Глагол 'meet' имеет форму V3 'met'. 'We' - множественное число, поэтому используем 'were').
• 5. Nobody was told what was happening. (Глагол 'tell' имеет форму V3 'told'. 'Nobody' - как местоимение единственного числа, поэтому используем 'was').
• 6. He was sent away to school when he was twelve. (Глагол 'send' имеет форму V3 'sent'. 'He' - единственное число, поэтому используем 'was').

Ответ:

• 1. were taken
• 2. were left
• 3. was cleaned
• 4. were met
• 5. was told
• 6. was sent
