Step-by-step explanation:

Active voice sentences are written in a way that put the subject of the sentence first. They usually follow the pattern of 'person did this thing'. Passive voice is more along the lines of 'this thing was done by person.'If these sentences were active voice, they would look like this:

A. Nina got a small, one-line musical.

B. Ralph fixed the bicycle and gave it new wheels.

C. Cynthia's best friend found a baby sitting job.

D. It is in active voice! If it was in passive voice, it could be "Jose was given a scholarship for playing baseball."
