Answer 1

The statement "They were given about $1000 in the fundraiser" is used in the Passive Voice. Passive Voice represents that the person or object 

Answer 2

Answer:

They were given about $1,000 in the fundraiser.

Explanation:

In an active voice, the subject does the action, meaning the subject performs the verb/ action. Thus, the sentence in an active voice will be-

"they earned about $1,000 at their fundraiser".

Here, the subject "they" does the action/ verb "earn".

But, in case of a passive voice, the subject will be acted upon by the verb. That means the verb will act upon the subject. So, the new sentence in the passive voice will become-

"They (were given) about $1,000 in the fundraiser".

"they" is the subject and the word "were given" is the verb that has been done on the subject.
