Question

generally the active voice is stronger but at time the passive voice is preferable or even necessary do you agree with this statement why yes why not​

Answer 1

$\huge\bold{Answer}$

Answer is yes.✔

I can derive your answer in two ways:-

✔No.1

• Depending on the ideas you are trying to express and the conventions of the discipline/journal in which you are writing, the passive voice can be an appropriate, sophisticated, and even preferable choice over the active voice. Nevertheless, the active voice is sometimes a far better choice, and you may use both in the same article depending on the context and content of your sentences and the section of your paper you are writing.

Example:

• Active: “The dog chased the ball."

• Passive: “The ball was chased by the dog.”

In this very simple sentence, the active voice is the better choice. It is more concise (shorter), more direct, and stronger. The passive voice, in this case, is unnecessarily wordy and clunky.

✔No.2

Why is the passive voice acceptable, even desirable, in bad-news messages when it’s consideredpoor, impersonal writing in most other situations?

• By using a passive voice it helps a person to depersonalize an action. In using an activevoice, the prime focus of a sentence is centralized on a specific person or a group ofpeople. However, in passive voice, a sentence is focused on some particular action.

$\huge\bold{Additional \: Information}$

What is an active voice!?

$\small\bold{Answer:-}$

• Active voice is used in a clause whose subject expresses the main verb's agent. That is, the subject does the verb's designated action.

What is passive voice!?

$\huge\bold{Answer:-}$

• With passive voice, the grammatical subject expresses the theme or patient of the main verb – that is, the person or thing that undergoes the action or has its state changed.

Changing from active to passive:-

• ypically, in passive clauses, what is usually expressed by the object (or sometimes another argument) of the verb is now expressed by the subject, while what is usually expressed by the subject is either omitted or is indicated by some adjunct of the clause. Thus, turning an active sense of a verb into a passive sense is a valence-decreasing process ("detransitivizing process"), because it syntactically turns a transitive sense into an intransitive sense.

For Examples:-

• Active:- The dog bit the postal carrier.

• Passive:-The postal carrier was bitten by the dog.

Answer 2

Example 1:
Active: “The dog chased the ball.”
Passive: “The ball was chased by the dog.”
In this very simple sentence, the active voice is the better choice. It is more concise (shorter), more direct, and stronger. The passive voice, in this case, is unnecessarily wordy and clunky.

However, there are many examples where we either cannot or do not want to emphasize the actor, particularly if there is an element of mystery involved:
