Which sentence is in passive voice?

Answers:

#1: The Masseys were thrilled by the news of their granddaughter's birth.

#2: The news of their granddaughter's birth thrilled the Masseys.

Answer 1

#1

Step-by-step explanation:

One of the two “voices” of verbs (see also active voice). A verb is in the passive voice when the subject of the sentence is acted on by the verb. For example, in “The ball was thrown by the pitcher,” the ball (the subject) receives the action of the verb, and was thrown is in the passive voice. The same sentence cast in the active voice would be, “The pitcher threw the ball.”
