The correct statement that describes a difference between the active voice and passive voice is:

Compared to the passive voice, the active voice emphasizes an action.

In active voice, the subject performs the action, making it clearer and often more direct, while passive voice focuses on the action being done to the subject, which can obscure who is performing the action.

The Response area voice is a grammatical structure in which the Response area performs the action named by the Response area.

It seems like you're trying to define a grammatical structure. Based on your prompt:

"The active voice is a grammatical structure in which the subject performs the action named by the verb."

In this structure, the subject of the sentence is the doer of the action, making the sentence clearer and more direct. For example, in the sentence "The cat (subject) chased (verb) the mouse," the subject (the cat) performs the action.
