Question

which sentence uses the passive voice for the main verb?
if we use our cell phones during class, the teacher confiscates them.
when they can, students slide down the banister in the science wing.
when we can pick our reading, mythology is most often chosen in my class.
if they choose to participate, students perform their poems at the poetry slam.

Explanation:

• In passive voice, the subject receives the action.
• In "When we can pick our reading, mythology is most often chosen in my class", "mythology" (subject) receives the action "chosen".
• In other sentences, subjects (teacher, students) perform the actions (confiscates, slide, perform).

Answer:

When we can pick our reading, mythology is most often chosen in my class.
