I honestly don't know...

Answer 3

The passive voice is a grammatical construction (specifically, a "voice"). The noun or noun phrase that would be the object of an active sentence (such as Our troops defeated the enemy) appears as the subject of a sentence with passive voice (e.g. The enemy was defeated by our troops).

Answer 4

Is it the second sentance

Answer 6

Answer 7

Actually, I re-read it and I don't agree with @peytonrychtik. I think the answer is D because the passive voice is used when we want to emphasize the action (the verb) and the object of a sentence rather than subject. This means that the subject is either less important than the action itself or that we don’t know who or what the subject is.

My laptop was stolen. (The object – now the subject = My laptop / action= was stolen)
