Find a passive and active voice.

Answer 6

This sentence is active.

Answer 7

Certainly! In an active sentence, the subject performs the action. In this case, "the man" is the subject and "ate" is the verb, indicating an action that the subject is performing. The sentence is active because it clearly states who is eating the hot dogs ("the man").

Answer 8

This sentence is passive.

Answer 9

Certainly! In a passive sentence, the subject receives the action rather than performing it. In this case, "a lot of tomatoes" is the subject of the sentence, but it is not performing the action of growing. Instead, the action of growing is being done by the farmers who live in New Jersey. The sentence is passive because it emphasizes the object (tomatoes) and the action being done to it (being grown), rather than focusing on the subject (the farmers) performing the action.
