The passive voice is a syntactic construction used to prioritize the recipient of an action or the action itself, especially in formal or objective texts. Regarding its formation and usage, mark the CORRECT alternative.
A
Intransitive verbs, such as "happen," "sleep," or "rise," can be transformed into the passive voice provided that the logical subject is moved to the position of the agent of the passive within formal grammatical constructions.
B
The passive voice is formed with the appropriate tense of the auxiliary verb "be" followed by the past participle of the main verb, and it is frequently used when the agent is unknown, obvious, or irrelevant.
C
The transformation of a sentence with two objects (direct and indirect) into the passive voice allows only the direct object to become the subject of the new sentence in standard English grammar structures.
D
In passive constructions, the preposition "by" must be used to introduce the instrument used in the action, replacing the preposition "with" in all formal registers of English.
E
The use of the "get-passive" (e.g., "they got arrested") is highly recommended in formal scientific reports to avoid the repetition of the auxiliary verb "be" throughout the text.

A
None of the sentences presents verbal transitivity traits suitable for conversion between active and passive voice and vice versa.
B
Sentence (1) is in active voice and highlights the agent as the Theme, while in (2) and (3) the Theme is the patient, producing an informational reorganization that shifts the focus to the event rather than to the performer of the action.
C
Alternation from active to passive generally requires the elimination of the subject in the final sentence.
D
Sentence (1) cannot be transformed into the passive voice because the verb reject does not allow valency alternation between active and passive structures.
E
All three sentences are semantically equivalent, since variations in word order do not affect theme distribution or the informational focus of the statements.
