Question

Which of the following sentences is written in passive voice?

Answer 1

Answer: A. A massage is given as a relaxing experience, not stressful.

Explanation:

Passive voice is used when we want to place focus on the person/object that experiences the action, and not the person/object that performs the action. The object from the active sentence thus becomes the subject in the passive sentence.

Passive constructions are formed in a following way:

verb to be + past participle of the main verb (III column)

The only sentence that contains passive construction is sentence A. Passive construction ''is given'' consists of verb 'to be' (present simple) and past participle of 'to give'.
