- A.
Verb
- B.
Adjective

Correct Answer
C. AgentExplanation
In a passive sentence, the focus is on the action and the receiver of the action, rather than the doer. The "agent" refers to the doer of the action in a passive sentence. It is usually introduced by the word "by" and is often omitted when it is unimportant, unknown, or obvious from the context. For example, in the sentence "The cake was eaten," the agent is not mentioned, as it is not necessary to know who ate the cake. However, in the sentence "The cake was eaten by my brother," the agent is included to provide additional information about who performed the action.Rate this question:
