Answer
A
My little sister found three seashells in the tidal pool.
B
That book was written by one of my favorite authors.
C
Sebastian and Akiko are traveling to Ohio this summer.
D
The contestants will be judged on style and originality.
E
In my house, fruit is often served after a meal.

Explanation

In passive voice, the subject receives the action, often in a form of “be” followed by a past participle. In B, the book was written; in D, the contestants will be judged; and in E, fruit is served. A is active because the sister performs the action of finding, and C is active because Sebastian and Akiko perform the action of traveling.
