The option that describes passive voice in a sentence is: "the subject is acted upon by the verb."
In passive voice constructions, the focus is on the action and the recipient of that action rather than on the subject that performs the action. For example, in the sentence "The cake was eaten by the children," "the cake" (subject) is acted upon by the verb "was eaten."
