Question

Which sentence is in the passive voice?

a) The chef cooked a delicious meal.
b) A delicious meal was cooked by the chef.
c) The chef is cooking a delicious meal.​

Answer 1

b) A delicious meal was cooked by the chef.

Step-by-step explanation:

passive voice can often be identified by the use of past tense in this case the meal was cooked

passive voice is when you make the object of the action (the delicious meal) into the subject of the sentence.

another example is instead of:

the chicken crossed the road

the passive voice would be:

the road was crossed by the chicken.

Answer 2

b) A delicious meal was cooked by the chef.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the active voice, the subject performs the action of the verb. In the passive voice, the object receives the action of the verb.In sentence b, the object of the verb is "a delicious meal". The verb "was cooked" is in the passive form, and the subject of the sentence is not stated explicitly. However, we can infer from the context that the subject is "the chef".

In sentences a and c, the subject performs the action of the verb. Therefore, these sentences are in the active voice.
