Answer:
The sentence containing a verb in the passive voice is C) Hoodie-Hoo Day is celebrated at noon by chanting "hoodie-hoo".
Explanation:
Sentences in the Active Voice have a subject that performs the action. In the Passive Voice, on the other hand, the subject is not the one who's doing the action, but the one receiving it. Thus, the structure emphasizes the action itself, not the person or animal etc. doing it. The Passive Voice always presents a form of the verb be and the past participle of the main verb. Study the examples below:
- The vet treated my dog. - Active Voice; the subject "the vet" is performing the action of treating.
- My dog was treated (by the vet). - Passive Voice; the subject "my dog" is receiving the action. The one who treated it is still the vet.
Among the options provided, the one that has a verb in the Passive Voice is letter C) Hoodie-Hoo Day is celebrated at noon by chanting "hoodie-hoo." The Hoodie-Hood Day receives the action of being celebrated. People are the ones who celebrate it. It is very common to omit who performs the action when the agent is general.
