An active voice is a straight out sentence like "She wrote a song". The focus is on the she and that she wrote a song. Simple.
Now the passive voice is different. This is a tip that I use a lot to figure out the difference. Passive voices usually have a to be verb like is, were, was, and a past participle, like learned, cleaned, and watched.
In this case, the sentence in passive voice would be "A song was written by her." Notice how was is a to be verb and written is a part participle.
Hope this clears up any confusion and write in the comments if you have any questions. And good luck on your test :)

Read this excerpt from paragraph 9 of “Letter from a Birmingham Jail" and answer the question.
KonstantinChe [14]

In the letter, King, mentions how Socrates made people think by creating tension in the mind, and how he wants to do the same so that in a non violent way, people would become a better version of themselves (not racist) and would therefore come together as a brotherhood. Taking into account these ideas, the correct answer would be option B: "The strain among opposing groups in Birmingham was similar to the creative blockades in ancient Athens, to which Socrates referred". Option A is incorrect because Socrates and King were not seeking the same goal. Option C is incorrect because King never mentions city officials or that Socrates petitioned Greek city-states and finally option D is incorrect because King never mentions that Socrates was trying to achieve harmony between warring groups.
