Passive Voice

In passive voice, there is a greater emphasis on the action than on the subject.

Example:

Julia watered the flowers. ⇒ The flowers were watered by Julia.

Answering the Question

We're given:

I will show Mirabel Madrigal's postcard from Italy to the class tomorrow.

  • Subject: I
  • Action: Show Mirabel Madrigal's postcard from Italy

Let's rearrange the sentence to begin with the action/put more emphasis on the action:

Mirabel Madrigal's postcard from Italy will be shown to the class tomorrow.

Answer

Mirabel Madrigal's postcard from Italy will be shown to the class tomorrow.
