This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is the following:
In the following sentence, the independent clause is written in the passive voice. If you were to rewrite the clause in the active voice, select the answer that correctly identifies the words you would use as subject and verb. If neither answer is correct, select c. Neither is correct.
9. In addition to September 11, 2001, what other war-related dates are remembered by Americans, especially by those who lived through World War II?
a. Americans; lived
b. Americans; are
c. Neither is correct.
Answer:
The correct option is c. Neither is correct.
Explanation:
The clause that is written in the passive voice is:
what other war-related dates are remembered by Americans?
To rewrite it into the active voice, we need to find the agent of the passive voice and make it the subject in the active voice. The agent is "by Americans", which means our subject will be "Americans".
We also need to find the main verb, which is used in its past participle form in the passive voice. In "are remembered", the main verb is "remembered". Thus, letters A and B are incorrect, since we do not use the verbs "lived" or "are". The active voice of this clause would be:
[...] Americans remember what other war-related dates?
Therefore, the correct option is c. Neither is correct.
