Explicação:

Whenever we make use of sentences in the passive voice, the patient of the action becomes more prominent. Who or
what undergoes the action carried out by the agent is focused in sentences formed by passive structures. What¿s
more, the passive voice is formed by the verb to be followed by the main verb in the past participle form. Therefore,
(1) and (2) are correct. An informal tone is perceptible by the use of contractions and not by the use of present perfect
continuous, which invalidates statement (3).
