Which option describes passive voice in a sentence?(1 point)

1 answer

Passive voice in a sentence is characterized by the subject receiving the action rather than performing it. In a passive construction, the focus is on the action or the recipient of the action, often structured as "subject + form of 'to be' + past participle." For example, in the passive sentence "The book was read by the teacher," the book (subject) is receiving the action of being read, rather than the teacher (who performs the action) being the subject.
