Why is the passive voice used?
The passive voice is used to focus on the person or object that experiences an action rather than the person or object that performs the action. It is used when we don’t know the performer, or the performer is unimportant (and therefore omitted), or the performer is to be highlighted (and therefore placed toward the end).
