Question

which of the following is in passive voice? i took the bus to school. i was praised by my history teacher. i won my tennis match. im going to the movies later.

Explanation:

To identify passive voice, we look for the structure "be + past participle" and often the agent (doer of the action) is introduced by "by".

• "I took the bus to school" is active (subject "I" does the action "took").
• "I was praised by my history teacher" uses "was praised" (be + past participle) and has the agent "by my history teacher", so it's passive.
• "I won my tennis match" is active (subject "I" does "won").
• "I’m going to the movies later" is active (subject "I" does "going").

Answer:

B. I was praised by my history teacher.
