Move to ACTIVE VOICE whenever possible--

Here is the link:
https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/general_writing/academic_writing/active_and_passive_voice/active_versus_passive_voice.html

The passive (indirect) sentence, the entrance exam was failed by over one-third of the applicants to the school, includes an action performed upon the sentence subject (the entrance exam).
The action is performed upon the sentence subject, meaning this sentence is passive (indirect).
The active voice sentence subjects perform the action in the sentence, over one-third of the applicants to the school failed the entrance exam.
This is an example of the active voice because the sentence subject performs the action.
