None of them is passive.
Briefly:
- Sentence 1: "was the ability..." uses the linking verb "was" (not passive).
- Sentence 2: "lures shoppers..." is active (the in-store experience is the subject doing the luring).
- Sentence 3: "buying... is ridiculous" uses a gerund phrase with the linking verb "is."
- Sentence 4: "you don’t burn gas" and "you’re not polluting the air" are active (you is the doer).
