The statement that is written in the passive voice is "It was said that the store had a good sale," as stated in the secondoption and explained below.
<h3>What is passive voice?</h3>
A sentence is written in the passivevoice when the subject is not the one performing the action expressed by the verb. The structure of the passive voice is:
Subject + to be + main verb in the pastparticiple
Compare the two sentences below to better understand the use of passive voice:
I took the cat to the vet. --> Active voice. The subject "I" performs the action of taking the cat.
The cat was taken to the vet by me. --> Passivevoice. The subject "cat" receives the action of being taken to the vet.
That is why the correct answer for this question is the second option. We have a passive structure at the beginning of the sentence, "It was said."
