Rolls Royce cars are made in England. (It is not important to know who makes the cars.)

b) when the action itself is more important than the person who carries it out, as in news headlines, newspaper articles, formal notices, instructions, advertisements, etc.
c) when we want to make statements more polite.
e.g. My new blouse is ruined, (more polite than saying, 'You've ruined my new blouse.')
