Explanation:
In grammar, the term <em>voice </em>refers to the relationship between the action expressed by the verb and the participants of the described event (the subject and object). In English, there are two types of voice:
- Active voice - the subject acts upon the verb.
- Passive voice - the subject is the recipient of the action expressed by the verb.
The sentence that uses only active voice is sentence A. The rest of the sentences contain both active and passive voices. I'll underline the parts with the passive voice below:
