Question 19 • English IV

Read the sentence. The famous artist and sculptor Michelangelo sculpted the statue David in Italy in the early 1500s. The best reason for the writer to revise this sentence to be in the passive voice is to emphasize

Answer
A
the sculptor.
B
the location.
C
the statue.
D
the date.

Explanation

In the active sentence, Michelangelo is the subject and the person doing the sculpting. Changing it to passive voice would make the sentence focus on what received the action: “The statue David was sculpted by Michelangelo in Italy in the early 1500s.” This emphasizes the statue, rather than the date, sculptor, or location.
