    Tye spent his fall break painting the elderly couple's home.

    Active voice is when the subject is actually the one completing the action. In this sentence, Tye is the subject. The action verbs are spent and painting. Tye is the one who spent and painted.

    Look at the other sentences. The subject of all the other sentences is the elderly couple's home (or house). The action verb is painted (or repainted). The house can't paint itself ... this means that the sentences are not in the active voice.
