Question

Identify the sentence in the passive voice:

• A. The gardener watered only the flowering plants.
• B. The plan was explained in detail.
• C. She has joined a new firm.
• D. He will attend the meeting in time.

Answer 1

Answer:

B. The plan was explained in detail.

The sentence "The plan was explained in detail." is in the passive voice.

In the passive voice:

• The object of the action (the plan) becomes the subject of the sentence.

• The verb is in a form of "to be" (was) + past participle (explained).

In the active voice, the sentence would be something like: "Someone explained the plan in detail."
