Read the sentence. Jameson dropped and broke the cookie jar while his parents were on vacation. What is the best explanation for why the writer would revise this sentence to use passive voice?

Passive voice puts the cookie jar in the subject position and can leave out who did the action: “The cookie jar was dropped and broken.” The best reason to revise the sentence this way is to conceal the identity of the person who broke it. The original sentence already names Jameson as the person responsible.
