Which sentence uses the passive voice?

A. The rain continued until dawn.
B. The tree was planted by Mary.
C. Lies destroy friendship.
D. John searched for a job



Answer :

A verb is in the passive voice when the subject or topic of the sentence is performed on by the verb. So in the given choices above, “The tree was planted by Mary.” the tree (the subject) obtains the action of the verb, and was planted is in the passive voice.

B is the correct answer
