Answer:

always consider whether you should use the passive or active voice. It will depend on what you, the writer, want to convey: if you want to draw attention to the doer, use the passive voice; if your intent is to put the focus on the action, then you should go for the active voice.

Passive voice can be preferable to active voice when the writer wants to be tactful with the reader.

  • Passive voice is a verb or a form of a verb where the subject undergoes the action. In other words, the object is acted upon by the subject.
  • Passive voice is not generally an engaging tone and is used to present facts as they are. However, an active voice is used when one wants to grip the readers.
  • In correspondence with this, the correct answer would be that a passive voice is used when the writer wants to convey tactful information to the reader, which does not generate any element of curiosity in the reader.
