Thank you for using the Jiskha Homework Help Forum. Please do not use capital letters as that is considered impolite, like shouting.
active voice = Rick and Kate bit ?Well, this is a strange sentence but they are the subjects of the verb
passive voice = #1, #2, #3 = we do NOT know the subject of the verb. #3 = WHO told? We do not know that.
The sentence written in an active voice is:
4. RICK AND KATE BUILT THE HOUSE WITH THEIR OWN HANDS.
The sentence that is written in the active voice is: "Rick and Kate bit the house with their own hands."
To determine whether a sentence is written in the active or passive voice, you need to identify the subject and the object of the sentence. In an active voice sentence, the subject is the one performing the action, while in a passive voice sentence, the subject is receiving the action.
Let's break down each sentence:
1. "The test will be offered several times this week." - This sentence is written in the passive voice because the subject ("the test") is receiving the action ("will be offered").
2. "We were told to wait until five o'clock for delivery." - This sentence is written in the passive voice because the subject ("we") is receiving the action ("were told").
3. "Formal clothing must be worn to Kim's wedding." - This sentence is written in the passive voice because the subject ("formal clothing") is receiving the action ("must be worn").
4. "Rick and Kate bit the house with their own hands." - This sentence is written in the active voice because the subject ("Rick and Kate") is performing the action ("bit"). They are actively doing the action of biting the house.
Therefore, the correct answer is sentence number 4, "Rick and Kate bit the house with their own hands."
