Answer:
People have rightly pointed out that drug offenses account for a relatively small fraction of “the prison population” at any given time. While correct, that shouldn’t be used to dismiss “The War On Drugs”. The number of prison sentences issued on drug offenses exploded around 1985 and stayed elevated for at least a quarter-century, perhaps declining a bit in the last few years. That adds up to millions of “extra” drug terms and at least a large fraction of the growth in prison sentences and prison records over the “mass incarceration” period. (I think it’s at least plausible it’d be a majority of that growth if we could account for related charges, but even if it isn’t it’s nothing to dismiss.)

Answer:
B. The best class in the school finished the test in less than 10 minutes.
Explanation:
You can identify an active voice in a sentence if it contains a subject that reflects the intention of the verb. An active voice will usually begin with a subject in a sentence. In a sentence, an active voice contains a subject, verb, and object.
To further enhance your understanding, I will be citing a few examples. These examples are; I passed my English exams, Mary Jane wrote the poem, the vehicle hit the train, etc.
Option B is the answer because the subject "Class" does the action described by the verb "finished".
Answer:
Active voice: In the sentence "Indian women <em>have worn</em> saris" '<em>have worn'</em> is an active voice.
Explanation:
In active voice the main subject of the sentence actively performs the verb; hence existence of a subject is mandatory for an active voice. For example, <em>"Indian women have worn saris"</em>, has <em>Indian women</em> as active subject who perform a verb (wear/worn).
In passive voice the stress is on action and not on subject. The subject does not perform an action/verb. For example in <em>"Saris have been worn by Indian women" </em>the subject <em>saris</em> are not performing the action/verb.
The easiest to locate sign of passive voice verb is use of any form of helping verb "be" i.e. is/are/am/was/were/be/been before the third form of principal/main verb. So whenever we find third form of main verb after any form of "be", we can safely identify it as a passive voice.
For example:
Solar eclipse is observed, Snake was killed, Ceremony will be held, Exams have been conducted.
In active voice, if any form of "be" (is/are/was/were/be/been) is used before main verb, it (main verb) will have "-ing" form.
For example:
Monkeys are eating bananas, They will be playing cricket, I was reading a novel.
