Question 7 • FL-1001370-English 3 A

Which sentence is in passive voice?

Answer
A
Lilly took her brother Joe to the playground.
B
Another little boy arrived at the playground with his mother.
C
The boy started playing with Joe.
D
The teeter-totter was shared by the boys.

Explanation

In passive voice, the subject receives the action, often in a “was/were + verb” construction followed by “by.” In “The teeter-totter was shared by the boys,” the teeter-totter receives the action of being shared. The other sentences describe subjects performing actions, so they are in active voice.
