Once a week, the house is cleaned by aunt margene. is this sentence active or passive? 1.active 2.passive

The correct answer is 2. Passive

Explanation:

A sentence is passive is there is a focus on the object of the sentence; due to this, passive sentences include first the object, then the action, and finally the subject, although this last can be omitted. This occurs in the sentence "Once a week, the house is cleaned by Aunt Margene" because one of the first element is "the house" which is the direct object affected by the action "cleaned", also the subject performing the action "Aunt Margene" is the last element in the sentence. Besides this, in a passive sentence the verb includes the use of the auxiliary verb to be followed by a past participle, this also occurs in this sentence because the verb is "is cleaned".
