In technical communication, which sentence correctly uses a passive construction to describe automated system backups?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. Critical database files are backed up to the cloud every midnight
- Step 1: 'Critical database files are backed up to the cloud every midnight' uses the passive voice ('are + past participle') emphasizing the files rather than the operator. Answer: Critical database files are backed up to the cloud every midnight. Why not the others: The second sentence is active voice, the third uses a gerund subject, and the fourth uses an incorrect reflexive form.
