Question 4 • ELA 11B-CR

Revise the following sentence to use active voice and remove the dangling preposition.“Visiting Italy was something I had always dreamed of.”

Answer
A
“Dreaming of visiting Italy was something I had always done.”
B
“I had always dreamed of visiting Italy.”
C
“Something I had always dreamed of was visiting Italy.”
D
“To visit Italy was something of which I had always dreamed.”

Explanation

“I had always dreamed of visiting Italy” puts the person doing the dreaming, “I,” in the subject position, so it uses active voice. It also avoids ending the sentence with the preposition “of.” The other choices are less direct or retain an awkward construction.
