What voice is indicated by "She took; she was taking"?

Active
Passive
Indicative
Imperative

The correct answer is: Active

The phrase "She took; she was taking" indicates the active voice because the subject of the sentences, "she," is performing the actions described by the verbs "took" and "was taking." In active voice constructions, the subject is directly responsible for the action, which is clearly illustrated here as "she" is the doer of the action in both instances. The active voice emphasizes the subject's role in the action, making the sentences straightforward and dynamic. In contrast, other voices like passive would focus on the action being received by the subject rather than performed by it, indicative denotes a mood that expresses statements of fact, and imperative would be used for commands or requests. This distinction helps clarify the nature of the sentence construction being examined.
