2 an 3 are okay. 1 and 4 are wrong. I get given/asked is a passive way of saying someone gives something to me or asks me something. The last one should be this is the thing I got (if you got it yourself), or I got given (if someone gave it to you). I don't understand what you are trying to say in the first sentence. This is what I did? this is what was done to me?

Hello,
That I get something: The probability that you can find or search something in a random situation.
Someone give me something: A person that give you an object with or without value in signal of friendship or desinterest.
The sentences below is missing the articles as Su.Ki. said.

What Su.Ki meant was that all your sentences, except possibly 3 need an article.
e.g. The is a question I get asked / This is the question I get asked.
The 'get' makes it a continuous sense. In the above example, it means that people regularly ask me this question.
