Which sentence is written in the passive voice?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. The new bridge was opened by the mayor on Friday.
- Step 1: In a passive sentence the subject receives the action. Step 2. Here 'the bridge' receives the action 'was opened', and the doer comes after 'by'. Answer: the bridge was opened by the mayor. Why not the others: In the other sentences the mayor or the bridge is the doer or the verb is not passive.
