السؤال 66

Each item describes an agentless event as the topic. Which sentence contains an impossible passive of an intransitive verb?

The outage happened shortly after midnight.
The final guests were arrived before the doors closed.الإجابة الصحيحة
A minor tremor occurred beneath the eastern bay.
Three seedlings died during the unexpected frost.

الشرح

The guests were arrived is nonstandard because arrive has no object and cannot be passivised. The other clauses correctly keep their agentless event verbs active, even though the event itself is the topic.
