The following newspaper article made use of verbs that are in the active and passive voice.
Fire swept through a locked hostel at Singapore University at night, killing 20 students and a security guard, the Straits Times reported yesterday. The fire was believed to have been caused by an electrical short-circuit that sparked a blazing fire in the university's hostels.
The victims were trapped inside their rooms that night when the fire started.
