Answer:

Explanation:

The way to create passive voice is by making the object, “a gift”, which has no real abilities to act, the subject of the question, for example, “why did a gift get sent to him?”. Basically, “you” as the original object is removed, because it is now implied. Also, an additional helper word “get” is used to assist the non-acting subject and maintain the chronological order suggested by the secondary past participle “sent”.

This reveals the intent of the question, which reads more as an accusation. If you wish to lessen the impact of the accusation and still gain information, use the past participle of “to be”, which is “was”, as your verb, rather than “to do” or “did”. This takes away more of the implication that something wrong was done, while still asking for the events which lead to the wrong thing happening. Therefore, “why was a gift sent to him?”
