Answer: D: The story<u> is told</u> of a miner in a hospital who was about to die.
Explanation:
Passive voice is used when we want to focus on an object/person that receives the action, rather than an object/person that performs the action. It is usually used when we have no information about the person that performs the action. In some cases, we know who performs the action, but choose not to mention them.
In a passive voice construction, verb to be is followed by past participle (-ed or III column). Sentence D is, thus, the only sentence written in passive voice - The story <u>is told</u> of a miner in a hospital who was about to die.
All the other sentences are written in active voice, where we focus on a person that performs the action.
