The children were sure they could find the missing book, but their mother already knew where it was.

Answer 1

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.
