I can't find it on the page, is it under a link on it or something?
I think the first one is B, and I think the second one is either A or B, but I'm leaning towards B. Am I right?
1. To determine which statement is written using passive voice, we need to identify the subject and object of the sentence. In passive voice, the object of the verb becomes the subject of the sentence.
Statement D, "A sale at the store led me there," is written using active voice. The subject of the sentence is "A sale at the store," and the object is "me."
Statement B, "It was said that the store had a good sale," is written using passive voice. The subject of the sentence is "It," and the object is "the store having a good sale."
Therefore, the answer is B. It was said that the store had a good sale.
2. Similarly, to determine which statement is written using passive voice, we need to identify the subject and object of the sentence.
Statement D, "Their hard work led them to $1,000 in donations," is written using active voice. The subject of the sentence is "Their hard work," and the object is "$1,000 in donations."
Statement C, "They were given about $1,000 in the fundraiser," is written using passive voice. The subject of the sentence is "They," and the object is "$1,000 in the fundraiser."
Therefore, the answer is C. They were given about $1,000 in the fundraiser.
