Read the paragraph. (1) last week, our english class watched a hilarious movie based on a novel. (2) in it, a couple of incompetent thieves bungle their way through a heist. (3) after several escapades, a priceless painting is stolen by the thieves. (4) but then, the thieves make an impressive blunder and accidentally return it. which sentence in the paragraph is in the passive voice? a. sentence 1 b. sentence 2 c. sentence 3 d. sentence 4

C. sentence 3

Explanation:

English sentences have either active or passive voice. When the subject of a sentence does an action, the sentence is active. For example: Mike wrote a letter to his friend.  

The sentence has passive voice when the subject receives an action. Like: A letter was written by Mike.  

Formula of passive voice: (to be)+ past participle

Sentence 3 (a priceless painting is stolen by the thieves) has a passive voice; verb 'is' and 'stolen, past participle of steal'.  

the answer is sentence 3
