Use the paragraph to answer the question. Coach Nash was interviewed by Harper Grace, editor of the online school newspaper. The success of his team was first noticed by spectators during the Week Three game against rival school Washington High School. The team collected statistics on every shot made and attempted. During daily practices, the team would be observed by coaching staff. The starting lineup would then be created by the head coach. Which sentence in the paragraph uses the active voice?
I believe "The team collected statistics on every shot made and attempted." would be the correct answer but idk
“Coach Nash was interviewed…” = passive verb. You can tell because the subject is NOT doing the action of the verb.
So find the sentence in which the subject IS doing the action.
The team collected statistics on every shot made and attempted.
The sentence in the paragraph that uses the active voice is: "The team collected statistics on every shot made and attempted."
Explanation:
In active voice sentences, the subject performs the action directly. In the sentence "The team collected statistics on every shot made and attempted," the subject, "the team," performs the action of collecting statistics. The sentence is structured as subject (the team) + verb (collected) + object (statistics).
