Question

which sentence uses the verb voice that emphasizes the actor rather than the action?
my garden is being invaded by weeds.
ronnie appears so sweet and kind in public, but she can be difficult at times.
this dish will be greatly improved by only a few dashes of salt.
the tango is being taught to the children.

Explanation:

Active voice emphasizes the actor (the one performing the action), while passive voice focuses on the action or the receiver of the action. The first, third, and fourth sentences use passive voice (structures like "is being invaded by", "will be greatly improved by", "is being taught to"). The second sentence uses active voice, with "Ronnie" (the actor) as the subject performing the state of appearing sweet and kind.

Answer:

B. Ronnie appears so sweet and kind in public, but she can be difficult at times.
