C. sentence 3. In English grammar, sentences can be categorized as either active or passive voice. An active sentence features a subject performing an action, as in: Mike wrote a letter to his friend. Conversely, when the subject of a sentence is acted upon, it exhibits passive voice. For example: A letter was written by Mike. The passive voice structure uses the formula: (to be) + past participle. Sentence 3 (a priceless painting is stolen by the thieves) operates in passive voice; the verbs 'is' and 'stolen' serve as the past participle.
