The relief goods were distributed by the Local Government Unit. This sentence is in the ___________ voice of verb.

The sentence "The relief goods were distributed by the Local Government Unit" is in the passive voice. In passive voice constructions, the subject of the sentence (in this case, "the relief goods") receives the action of the verb (here, "distributed") rather than performing the action. The phrase "by the Local Government Unit" indicates the doer of the action, but it is placed at the end of the sentence, which is characteristic of the passive voice.

In contrast, if the sentence were in the active voice, it would focus on the subject performing the action, such as "The Local Government Unit distributed the relief goods." Understanding the distinction between active and passive voice helps in identifying who is performing the action and contributes to the clarity of written communication.
