Answer 1

Here are the comparisons for when to use active voice versus passive voice:

Active voice

• When the subject of the sentence performs the action
• To create a more direct and engaging tone
• When clarity and conciseness are important
• To emphasize the doer of the action

Passive voice

• When the subject of the sentence receives the action
• To shift focus away from the doer to the action or result
• When the doer is unknown or irrelevant
• To create a more formal or objective tone
