Question 7 • IA-English Language Arts 11 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 rather than doing it. In “The teeter-totter was shared by the boys,” the teeter-totter receives the action of being shared, so this is passive voice. The other sentences describe people doing the actions.
