Active Voice is the form of grammatical construction in which the subject itself performs the action and leads the sentence while in passive voice, the sentence is led by the object and action of the verb. In the active voice, the subject is the primary emphasis of the sentence while in the passive voice, the subject receives the action. But the passive of an 'intransitive' verb cannot be formed because it does not have an object.

Explanation:
Tracey E. Fern's "America’s Best Girl" revolves around the story of Gertrude “Trudy” Ederle, a 19-year-old swimmer hopeful of crossing the English Channel. The young swimmer will not only become the first woman to swim the Channel but also the fastest person to do so.
Despite the rough weather and unfavorable conditions, Trudy resisted giving up, instead, focusing on the way ahead and swam for <em>"fourteen hours and thirty-one minutes." </em>Her efforts paid off and she succeeded in crossing the Channel, though not without any repercussion. The severity of the seas that day left her with a damaged eardrum, making her deaf. Trudy later became a swimming instructor for children with hearing impairment.
Thus, the reader can conclude, based on the information given in the text, that a person requires great stamina and resistance to cold to swim the Channel.
