answer: c) researchers say that roald dahl is one of the most famous children’s writers of all time.

roald dahl was a welsh novelist, short story writer, poet, screenwriter and pilot. he is particularly famous for his works for children, such as james and the giant peach, matilda, the witches, fantastic mr. fox and charlie and the chocolate factory.

out of these options, c is the one that supports the claim of dahl being close to his family the least. option a states that he was close to his mother and grandmother. option b states that his mom used to tell him stories. option d says that dahl told his daughters bedtime stories. however, option c does not talk about dahl's family at all.

i'm unsure whether this sentence is active or passive voice.

    i want to be there when the final match is played at wimbledon.

when we marked it, the teacher said that it was passive voice, but isn't the subject ("i") doing the action, which makes it active? can someone explain?

passive-voice

    it's not the matrix clause that is passive, but just the subordinate clause functioning as complement of "when", i.e. the final match is played at wimbledon. it's a 'short passive' in that there is no internalised complement (by phrase). the subject of the subordinate passive clause is "the final match". "i" is subject of the matrix clause. – billj jun 13 '17 at 15: 29
