Question 172 • Career Explorations - EL3401

Which sentence uses the passive voice for the main verb?

Answer
A
If we use our cell phones during class, the teacher confiscates them.
B
When they can, students slide down the banister in the science wing.
C
When we can pick our reading, mythology is most often chosen in my class.
D
If they choose to participate, students perform their poems at the poetry slam.

Explanation

In C, the main verb phrase is “is most often chosen.” This is passive voice because the subject, “mythology,” receives the action of being chosen. The other sentences use active voice: their subjects (“the teacher,” “students,” and “students”) perform the main actions.
