Select the sentence that is expressed in passive voice.

Question

Accepted Answer

Passive voice is a grammatical construction where the object of an active sentence becomes the subject of the passive sentence, and the verb is typically a form of 'to be' plus the past participle of the main verb.

1. 'I prefer tea to coffee.' is active voice with 'I' as subject.
2. 'Children are participating in sand-art competition.' is active voice with 'Children' as subject.
3. 'She sketches beautifully.' is active voice with 'She' as subject.
4. 'The consignment was delivered yesterday.' is passive voice because 'The consignment' (object in active voice) is now the subject, and 'was delivered' is a passive verb form.

Hence, option 4 is the correct answer.
