So a passive statement is right for this question as it pinpoints all the importance of the passage in a single sentence).
2. C. A fighter pilot shot down a UFO that is now been kept in a hanger at a local army base. The army is trying to cover up the story.
3. B. He seems to be describing a midair battle, indicating that he had fired a missile at an enemy.( opinion is a viewpoint or thinking of the person which does not necessarily require any facts or logic. here the "He" looks describing a battle and made it sound that he fired at the enemy. which is may or may not be true)
4. A. Narrative (Here the whole event is narrating by a third party)
5. question is not complete
6. C Pam Markesan and the neighbours are the primary sources. The reporter is not.
