Question

Which of the following uses active voice?

She makes the most of the opportunities she's given.

The dog show can be observed from the stands.

The total number of participants was tallied up by the volunteers.

The scholarships can be turned in as soon as this school year ends.

Answer 1

In an active sentence, the subject is doing the action. A straightforward example is the sentence "Steve loves Amy." Steve is the subject, and he is doing the action: he loves Amy, the object of the sentence.

Another example is the title of the Marvin Gaye song “I Heard It through the Grapevine.” "I" is the subject, the one who is doing the action. "I" is hearing "it," the object of the sentence.

Answer 2

Which one do you think it is ? :)

Answer 3

So its A?

Answer 4

That's what I think too :) hmm hopefully someone can double check this ! @Compassionate

Answer 5

Yes it's A... Because the others are passive:

In passive voice, the target of the action gets promoted to the subject position. Instead of saying, "Steve loves Amy," I would say, "Amy is loved by Steve." The subject of the sentence becomes Amy, but she isn't doing anything. Rather, she is just the recipient of Steve's love. The focus of the sentence has changed from Steve to Amy.

Answer 6

A.
