Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

"The Web site was redesigned" is the passive-voice sentence because the focus is on the action that was done to the website (i.e. redesigning), rather than who did the action. In contrast, options A, B, and C all have the subject doing the action (wrote, closed, applied).
