Question

Which sentence is written in the passive voice?

A. Evangeline decided to read a book because her favorite show was not airing this evening.
B. The entire box of books was lost in the cross-country move.
C. The children, tired after a long field trip, fell asleep early last night.
D. Marking the time in a notebook, he observed that his run was the best one yet.

Answer 1

The correct answer is B. the entire box of books was lost in the cross-country move.
A sentence is in passive voice when the subject is acted upon by a verb. In this sentence, the 'box' (subject) receives the action, and 'was lost' is written in passive voice.

Hope this helps! :)
