They were heard ... goodbye to their friends.
I think so, too, Mister Micawber.
"They heard someone else saying goodbye to their friends"
I just wonder why they don't say it in an active voice instead of a passive.
Maybe they have kind of another purpose...
It's really understandable for me to hear what you explained, Mr. Micawber.
Thank you very much for help.
Take care! See you soon!

jennifertran I just wonder why they don't say it in an active voice instead of a passive. I can tell you precisely why: they just wanted to make a sentence in passive voice but were not concerned whether it was natural or not. That is the trouble with most language tests: they build sentences using the grammar they want instead of finding real sentences that match the grammar point they want to test.
