She is not wearing her favorite shirt today.
- A.
  
  Active
- B.
  
  Passive
Correct Answer
A. Active

Explanation
The given sentence is in the active voice because the subject "she" is performing the action "is not wearing" on the object "her favorite shirt." In the passive voice, the object would become the subject and the sentence would be structured differently, such as "Her favorite shirt is not being worn by her today." However, as the given sentence is already in the active voice, the correct answer is active.

  Passive
Correct Answer
A. Active

Explanation
The given correct answer is "Active" because the sentence is in active voice, indicating that the subject (students) is performing the action (not being in the class). In passive voice, the sentence would be structured differently, with the subject being acted upon. However, since the sentence is already in active voice, there is no need to change it to passive voice.
