What voice is used in the phrase "She will be taken"?

Active
Passive
Neither
Both

The correct answer is: Passive

The phrase "She will be taken" exemplifies the passive voice. In passive constructions, the subject of the sentence is acted upon rather than performing the action. Here, "she" is the recipient of the action (being taken) rather than the doer. In active voice, the subject would perform the action explicitly, such as in “Someone will take her," where the subject is the doer. The passive structure emphasizes the action and the object rather than the subject, which is often omitted or less important in the sentence. This focus on the recipient of the action is the hallmark of passive voice, confirming that "She will be taken" is indeed a passive construction.
