Question 13 • GA-GSE English Language Arts 11

Which sentence uses passive voice?

Answer
A
We arrived early for our annual dental check-ups.
B
Dr. Gomez greeted us warmly and took X-rays.
C
Calm music played quietly in the dentist’s office.
D
We were given new toothbrushes by the hygienist.

Explanation

In passive voice, the subject receives the action rather than performing it. In “We were given new toothbrushes by the hygienist,” “we” receive the toothbrushes, and “by the hygienist” identifies who performed the action. The other sentences describe subjects performing actions or events happening, so the correct choice is D, “We were given new toothbrushes by the hygienist.”
