is the verb in the sentence active or passive? the happy child stood on the diving board. a. passive b.active

Active. Easiest way to tell is to see if the action is being performed by the sentence subject (in this case, the diving board is being stood on.) Passive would be if the sentence subject was being acted upon by the action so: She slammed on the brakes. The brakes are the sentence subject and are being acted upon by she.
