Consider the following pair of sentences:

Active:

“Researchers conducted the experiment carefully.”

Passive:

“The experiment was conducted carefully (by researchers).”

Point the alternative that describes the functional difference between the active and passive constructions:

Alternativa A:
The passive construction foregrounds the patient (the experiment) by moving it to subject position, reducing the prominence of the agent.
Alternativa B:
The passive construction reverses the roles of agent and patient, emphasizing the doer rather than the action.
Alternativa C:
The active voice suppresses the agent, while the passive voice obligatorily expresses it
Alternativa D:
The passive form is ungrammatical because adverbs of manner cannot appear after passive verbs.
Alternativa E:
The passive voice changes the meaning of the verb conduct into a stative interpretation.
