<p>If you see 3 passive ways to fix the sentence and two active ways, can you immediately cross out the passive ones because they won't sound as good? </p>
<p>Is this something the SAT does all the time? I know active sounds better than passive, but I'm not sure if the SAT will always choose the active answer. Can someone help?</p>
<p>Nope. Sometimes passives can be right. Crossing out passives should be a stump card if you're down to, like, the last two answers and can't find a good one O_<</p>
<p>It really depends if the active voices have other errors in them.
o_O</p>
<p>generally yes. SAT writers always prefer an active voe.</p>
<p>But it has to be parallel. If rest of sentence is passive, then answer is passive.</p>
