Answer: Our old toaster always burns the toast on one side.

Explanation:

In active voice, we place focus on the agent that performs the action. The last sentence - Our old toaster always burns the toast on one side, is thus the only sentence in the active voice. 'Burns' is a present simple tense from the verb 'to burn'.

All the other sentences are written in passive voice, as the focus is put on the object/person that receives the action. Passive voice construction consists of verb to be and past participle (as in was negotiated, was colonized, and was quoted).

Remark

The error is more in agreement than being misplaced. The problem is in creating a park. All the other listings are plural. Creating a park is singular. The other examples don't contain a verb of any kind. Creating is a verb.

You might have to break this into 2 sentences again. There's no way to get around the singular plural problem or if there is, I don't see it. Try this.

Answer: The development plan included apartment buildings, single-family houses, and two new schools. The plan also includes plans for a park.
