Choose the best answer for each of the following questions.

Choose the sentence that uses the passive voice.
a. Brandon and Jake haven't been told the new yet.****
b. That restaurant has never received a good review.
c. Krista's cat was born with six toes on each paw.
d. The sprinkler has been running for two hours.

I believe this is correct, but I'd like to know more about the passive voice and active voice. Can someone explain them to me in detail?

You are correct. This might help explain active and passive voice.

You're right; it's "a."

Passive and active voice:
http://grammar.ccc.commnet.edu/grammar/passive.htm

Basically, if the subject in a sentence or clause is DOING the action of the verb, that's active voice. If the subject in a sentence or clause is NOT DOING the action of the verb, that's passive voice.
