Active Voice Analysis The task is to identify sentences that correctly use the active voice. In active voice constructions, the subject of the sentence performs the action expressed by the verb. Let’s analyze each sentence provided: Sentence 1: "A race car hit the left median strip and spun violently, but the driver was alert and managed to keep it from flipping over and hitting other cars." In this sentence, "A race car" is the subject performing the action of hitting and spinning, while "the driver" is also actively managing the car. Conclusion: This uses active voice correctly. Sentence 2: "To avoid a collision, many racing cars were driven directly into the bleachers." "Many racing cars were driven" implies that an unnamed agent is performing the action. This construction is passive voice. Conclusion: This does not correctly use active voice. Sentence 3: "The driver, including his team members, quickly assessed the damages on his race car." In this case, "The driver" is the subject who is actively assessing the damages. Conclusion: This correctly uses active voice. Sentence 4: "The driver was placed on a stretcher as a precaution and was carried inside the medical tent for further examination after the accident." This sentence uses passive construction ("was placed" and "was carried"), meaning the subject is not performing the actions. Conclusion: This does not correctly use active voice. Summary of Correct Choices The two sentences that correctly use active voice are: 1. "A race car hit the left median strip and spun violently, but the driver was alert and managed to keep it from flipping over and hitting other cars." 2. "The driver, including his team members, quickly assessed the damages on his race car."
