Answer:
The lecture about the Vietnam War was given by veterans.
Explanation:
Among the options given, the only one in the Passive Voice is "The lecture about the Vietnam War was given by veterans."
In the Passive Voice, the focus of the sentence is on the action itself, not on who or what performed the action. Thus, the subject of the sentence is not the person, thing, or animal etc. who actually carried out the action. That would be the agent. The structure is:
subject + auxiliary verb (if necessary) + verb be + main verb in the past participle + agent (if necessary).
So:
The lecture about the Vietnam War - subject
was - verb be
given - main verb in the past participle
by veterans - agent
The language must be appropriate to the audience and should use the terms that are most current and ordinary. Using fancy language is not ordinary, and any kind of unfamiliarity can be seen as suspicious.
