<p>Is the passive voice always wrong for Improving Sentences?</p>
<p>I believe so. </p>
<p>The passive voice is not well-received by ETS. (They don’t like this)</p>
<p>The College Board does not use the passive voice for correct answer choices. They prefer that the subject of the sentence does the action.</p>
<p>Yeah pretty much…</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I’m not comfortable making that generalization.</p>
<p>They’re probably not going to test that much on something so subjective.</p>
<p>I agree with silverturtle. At first I followed that same assumption, however I came across a question in the BB, where the passive voice was the correct answer. On section 3 of practice exam #8 in the BB, the correct answer to question #5 is in the passive voice. So the passive voice is not necessarily incorrect all the time.</p>

<p>A mistake on my part. I should have put “usually” in that sentence. But in general, you would better off searching for an answer choice in active voice if you have the option.</p>
