Which sentence is written in the active voice? a) drew aimed his nerf gun at the target and pulled the trigger. b) the hot air balloon was filled with helium gas early this morning. c) the outstanding senior award was given to our very own john stevens. d) the limbs on the side of the road were picked up by the garbage truck.

Correct answer is A.

Explanation:

In the active voice sentences the operator of an activity is the subject in the sentence, so in sentence A we can see how Drew as a subject operated a nerf gun and pulled the triger, where nurf gun and trigger represent the objects.

In the passive voice sentences, construction - Object from the active sentence becomes subject of passive + verb TO BE in the appropriate tense + main verb (from the active) in Past Participle - is characteristic. This pattern can be recognized in sentences B, C and D.

A) Drew aimed his nerf gun at the target and pulled the trigger.
