Answer 1

The explanation is the answer

Step-by-step explanation:

The sentence that uses the passive voice is "The meal was cooked by one of the finest chefs in the city." In the passive voice, the subject receives the action rather than performing it. In this sentence, the subject "meal" is being acted upon or "cooked" by the chef. The sentence also includes the agent or "by" phrase to identify who performed the action, but it is not the focus of the sentence. Overall, the passive voice can be useful in creating a more objective tone or shifting the focus of the sentence from the doer to the receiver of the action.
