What is active voice
A: a grammatical structure in which the subject preforms the action named by the verb
B: a type of sentence that conveys strong emotion or excitement
C: a type of word that refers to physical or mental actions
D: a grammatical structure that is used to describe events that are currently taking place
A: a grammatical structure in which the subject performs the action named by the verb
A: a grammatical structure in which the subject performs the action named by the verb
The correct answer is A: a grammatical structure in which the subject performs the action named by the verb.
To determine the answer, we can break down each option and eliminate the ones that are incorrect.
Option B: "a type of sentence that conveys strong emotion or excitement." This does not accurately define active voice. Active voice refers to the structure of a sentence, while this option describes the emotional tone of a sentence.
Option C: "a type of word that refers to physical or mental actions." This option actually defines action words or verbs, not active voice. Active voice refers to the sentence structure, not individual words.
Option D: "a grammatical structure that is used to describe events that are currently taking place." This option describes the present tense, not specifically active voice. Active voice can be used in any tense, not just the present.
With these eliminations, the only remaining option is A: "a grammatical structure in which the subject performs the action named by the verb." This accurately defines active voice, where the subject of the sentence is the doer of the action expressed by the verb.
