Which sentence uses the passive voice?

A. The rain continued until dawn.

A verb is in the passive voice when the subject or topic of the sentence is performed on by the verb. So in the given choices above, “The tree was planted by Mary.” the tree (the subject) obtains the action of the verb, and was planted is in the passive voice.
