What is the passive voice?
The passive voice is a type of sentence structure in which we give more emphasis to the person, animal or object receiving the action than to the one performing the action. In other word, it is basically the contrary of the active voice, in which the performer is the one emphasized.
That difference is shown in the structure. In the active voice, the subject does the action. In the passive voice, the subject receives the action. Take a look at the sentences below to compare:
- Active voice: Joanna made this cake yesterday.
- Passive voice: This cake was made by Joanna yesterday.
That is why we can safely choose option A as the right answer. Notice that it is the only option using the passive voice structure:
- Subject + verb to be + past participle + by + agent
