Which of the following is an example of a passive voice sentence?

  1. The children were taken to school.

  2. The ball was kicked by John.

  3. John kicked the ball.

  4. The school was attended by the children.

The correct answer is: The school was attended by the children.

A and C are active voice sentences, where the subject performs the action directly. B has the subject after the verb, but is still an active voice sentence, as John is still the one performing the action. D is a passive voice sentence, where the subject is receiving the action rather than performing it.
