Grading

Hi guys. i know it might somehow sound odd but i thought , based on
the rules of readability . the active voice which has fewer words than
passive ones .. But when i checked the phrase The quick brown fox jump
over the lazy dog and " The lazy dog, was jumped over by the quick
brown fox." the latter rendered a higher score. Please help me.. This
is my thesis.. Thanks

"The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog." - 94.3
"The lazy dog was jumped over by the quick brown fox." - 95.7

The difference is the addition of the two words "was" and "by".
Although the second sentence is slightly longer, the shorter words
help reduce the average syllable count, which is why the scores are
different.
