You are given an assignment in which your instructor wishes you to write a paragraph about the happiest day of your life so far. Your instructor stipulates that you must avoid passive voice. Which of these choices would be acceptable as an introductory sentence?

A) On May 3, the happiest day of my life was enjoyed by me.
B) The happiest day of my life has been remembered many times.
C) On the happiest day of my life, I woke up in a good mood.
D) On the happiest day of my life, my mood was good.

The correct answer is: C: On the happiest day of my life, I woke up in a good mood.

Explanation:

In sentences A and B we have clear examples of passive voice.  The passive voice consists of the verb to be in an adequate tense and the main verb which contains past participle. When we use Passive voice, we also add the preposition by together with the subject of the active sentence, who becomes an object of the passive sentence.

Option D could also be considered as the correct answer, but the structure of the sentence is too informal and contains some elements of the passive sentence. For example, the active sentence would be: I was in a good mood. The passive sentence would be: My mood was good. Therefore, the correct answer would be C.
