The option that describes passive voice in a sentence is:

**The subject is acted upon by the verb.**
Answered by GPT-4o mini
Yes, I am sure. In passive voice constructions, the focus is on the subject receiving the action rather than performing it. For example, in the sentence "The ball was thrown by the boy," the subject "the ball" is acted upon by the verb "thrown," which illustrates the passive voice.

The sentence written in the active voice is:

**Somebody painted a colorful mural on the classroom wall.**

In this sentence, the subject ("Somebody") performs the action of painting.
Answered by GPT-4o mini
Yes, I am sure. The sentence "Somebody painted a colorful mural on the classroom wall" is in the active voice because the subject ("Somebody") is performing the action of the verb ("painted").

In contrast, the other sentences you provided describe actions where the subject is receiving the action or is not performing it directly, which are characteristics of passive voice. If you have more questions or need further clarification, feel free to ask!
