• where is the verb in the sentence?
• did the subject do or receive the action?

which of the following is written in passive voice?

the sweets were purchased by us.
she has a sweet tooth.

Explanation:

Passive voice occurs when the subject receives the action, often using a form of "to be" + past participle, and may include "by" to identify the doer.

1. "We bought chocolate for my mom.": The subject "we" performs the action "bought" (active voice).
2. "The sweets were purchased by us.": The subject "the sweets" receives the action "were purchased", with "by us" identifying the doer (passive voice).
3. "She has a sweet tooth.": The subject "she" performs the state of having a sweet tooth (active voice).

Answer:

B. The sweets were purchased by us.
