Resolução comentada
was discovered / led / disappeared / showed / were stowed / was configured.
O submarino 'was discovered', na voz passiva. A expedição foi 'led by' (particípio reduzido). 'Disappeared' é intransitivo e não vai para a passiva. As imagens 'showed' que as proteções 'were stowed' (plural, passiva). Por fim, 'the AE1 was configured' (passiva).
Análise das alternativas
B) 'discovered' ativo e 'was disappeared' estão incorretos. C) 'discovered' ativo e 'were shown' estão incorretos. D) 'was disappeared' é impossível. E) 'was disappeared' é impossível.
Referência: Voz passiva e tempos verbais em inglês; verbos intransitivos não têm passiva.
