  2. The final guests were arrived before the doors closed.Правильный ответ
  3. A minor tremor occurred beneath the eastern bay.
  4. Three seedlings died during the unexpected frost.

Объяснение

The guests were arrived is nonstandard because arrive has no object and cannot be passivised. The other clauses correctly keep their agentless event verbs active, even though the event itself is the topic.
