The sentence that has a shift in its verb voice is:
**"The children were sure they could find the missing book, but their mother already knew where it was."**
In this case, "were sure" is in active voice, while "was" (in "it was") is in passive voice. The other sentences maintain a consistent use of voice throughout.
**"The children were sure they could find the missing book, but their mother already knew where it was."**
