Question

which sentence is written in the active voice? the zoo’s new panda exhibit was visited by shelby. shelby visited the zoo’s new panda exhibit.

Answer 1

Active voice presents the subject and action almost immediately, so the second sentence is written in active voice.

Answer 2

Shelby visited the zoo’s new panda exhibit.

Step-by-step explanation:

A sentence written in the active voice is the one that places attention on what the subject does. As in the example provided, the subject, Shelby, does the action and is before the verb.

On the other hand, a sentence written in the passive voice is the one that focuses on the action, and not on the subject, for example: The zoo's new panda exhibit was visited by Shelby.
