Question

1. Which sentence is in passive voice?

A. Hundreds of public works projects were initiated by New Deal agencies during Franklin D.
Roosevelt's presidency.

B. New Deal agencies initiated hundreds of public works projects during Franklin D. Roosevelt's
presidency.

Answer 1

Option A is written with passive voice.

Step-by-step explanation:

Passive voice is when the object of the sentence (the thing being acted on) is used as the subject of the sentence (this usually happens when the object comes first as opposed to after the person/agency acting, which is the actual subject). In option A "Hundreds of public works projects" is put in the place of the subject, the "person" acting.
