To identify which sentence is in active voice, we need to determine if the subject of the sentence is performing the action. In active voice, the subject directly performs the action. Let's analyze the given sentences:
A: "The contest was held in a park near Jimmy's house."
- This sentence is in the passive voice because the subject "the contest" is not performing the action "held," but rather the action is being done to it.
B: "The pies were brought to the contest that morning."
- This sentence is also in the passive voice because the subject "the pies" is not performing the action "brought," but rather the action is being done to them.
C: "All the pies were eaten at the contest."
- This sentence is also in the passive voice because the subject "all the pies" is not performing the action "eaten," but rather the action is being done to them.
D: "Jimmy ate all the pies that were at the contest."
- This sentence is in the active voice because the subject "Jimmy" is performing the action "ate."
So, the sentence in the active voice is option D: "Jimmy ate all the pies that were at the contest."
