To select the correct words from the drop-down list, we need to understand the concepts mentioned in the question.
The first blank is referring to a sentence structure where the subject of the sentence performs the action. This structure is called the "active voice."
The second blank is referring to a sentence structure where the subject of the sentence receives the action, and the person or thing doing the action follows the verb. This structure is called the "passive voice."
So, the correct words to fill in the blanks would be "active voice" for the first blank and "passive voice" for the second blank.
