A similar type of construction

by vikram4689 » Tue Apr 17, 2012 4:21 am
A similar type of construction can be found in every Romance language, each with a consistent order of impersonal pronoun, indefinite pronoun, and verb.


A. each with a consistent order of impersonal pronoun, indefinite pronoun, and verb
B. each with consistent orders of impersonal pronoun, indefinite pronoun, and verb
C. each having a consistent order of impersonal pronoun, indefinite pronoun, and verb
D. all having a consistent order of impersonal pronoun, indefinite pronoun, and verb
E. all with consistent orders of impersonal pronoun, indefinite pronoun, and verb

[spoiler]What is difference b/w A & C, both are adverb modifiers, OA=A but i don't anything wrong with C[/spoiler]

Here is a good read for passive voice: https://writingcenter.unc.edu/resources/ ... sive-voice

Is C in passive voice ?

I thought that since present participle is used, it is an active voice construction
