The correct answer is: when the person or thing performing the action is unimportant or unknown
The correct answer is: "when the person or thing performing the action is unimportant or unknown."
To determine when it is appropriate to use the passive voice, you should consider the importance of the person or thing performing the action. If the focus of the sentence is on the action itself rather than the doer, or if the doer is unknown or unimportant, then using the passive voice is appropriate.
For example, consider the sentence: "The cake was baked by someone." Here, the focus is on the cake being baked rather than who baked it.
