Answer 1

The sentence "The winning goal was scored by Boone." is using passive voice.

Step-by-step explanation:

• In English language there are two voice: Active voice and Passive voice.
• Passive voice is used when we want to emphasize the action (the verb) and the object of a sentence rather than subject.
• That means in passive voice the subject holds less importance as compared to action.
• In the given sentence the main theme is to make clear about the winning goal.
• For example:

1. I wrote the letter.(active voice)
2. The letter was written by me.(passive voice)
