creativity was nurtured by budd. Is this sentence active or passive?

This sentence is in the passive voice.

Here's why:

* Passive voice focuses on the action being done to the subject. In this case, "creativity" is the subject, and it's being acted upon by "Budd."

* Active voice would focus on the doer of the action. An active voice sentence would be "Budd nurtured creativity."
