OpenStudy (aishanuwang):

A, Juan planted the tomatoes and onions. Passive voice is when the object begins the sentence, whereas in active voice the subject does.

A, hon... Well, in active voice we have a doer...we know who has done the activity... But in passive Form we have no idea who the doer is Cuz; 1, maybe it wasn't that much important to be mentioned 2, maybe we don't know the doer an 3, maybe our activity ( our object) is much more important to be emphasized...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A because active voice has a person who does the action. For Example: Maria brought the cookies.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it is A because in the first sentence the subject {Juan} is doing some action thus the sentence is in active voice where as in the other sentences the subject is getting affected thus they are in passive voice. example : Nina is watering the plants {"Nina the subject is doing some action thus it is in active voice.} The plants are being watered by Nina. { the subject plants is getting affected so it is in passive voice}
