Mrs. Sue that was very uncalled for. This student came on here for help and you gave a shunning response.

Your answer to the first question, "Which statement is true about the passive voice?" is correct. A passive verb is made from a form of have with the past participle of an action verb.

Regarding the second question, "Which sentence contains a verb in the active voice?", your answer is incorrect. The correct sentence containing a verb in the active voice is, "The baby is sleeping soundly." In this sentence, the subject "baby" is performing the action "sleeping." The sentence structure is subject + verb + object, which is characteristic of the active voice.

Incorrect options:
- "A loud screech was heard in the tree" is in the passive voice because the subject "screech" is receiving the action "heard."
- "The guitar was played all night" is also in the passive voice because the subject "guitar" is receiving the action "played."
- "The new park will be finished at last" is in the passive voice because the subject "park" is receiving the action "finished."

Therefore, only the sentence "The baby is sleeping soundly" contains a verb in the active voice.
