Which are correct:
1) He was kidnapped to ask for ransom.
2) He got kidnapped to ask for ransom.
MEANING: The people who kidnapped him did so to ask for ransom.
3) He was kidnapped to scare the other dissidents.
4) He got kidnapped to scare the other dissidents.
It seems to me that '2' and '4' mean that he deliberately got kidnapped!
Gratefully,
Navi.
