The English passive highlights affected participants or information structure shifts (topic continuity), not merely agent deletion. In indirect speech, tense and deixis may shift under backshifting conventions, yet factivity and universal truths resist change. Subordination via complement, relative, and adverbial clauses provides cohesion; that-deletion depends on register and processing ease (cf. Huddleston & Pullum). Select the correct statement.
- APassives are ungrammatical without a byphrase in formal registers.
- BBackshifting is obligatory even for timeless truths and reporting verbs.
- CRelative clauses cannot modify abstract antecedents in academic prose.
- DThat-deletion is a stylistic option constrained by ambiguity risk and register.
- EIndirect speech preserves original deixis regardless of reporting context.
