On page #3 there is the following example:


The new contract forbids a strike by the transportation union
A) Forbids a strike by the transportation union
B) forbids the transportation union from striking
C) forbids that there be a strike by the transportation union
D) will forbid the transportation union form striking
E) will forbid that the transportation union strikes

Why is A the correct answer? I though we should avoid passive tense
:? I am confused

'forbids' is active tense

Correct idioms are ....

x forbids y to do z

x prohibits y from doing z

OR

forbid+<objective>

Hence A

The new contract forbids a strike by the transportation union.
The new contract prohibits the transportation union from striking.
The new contract forbids the transportation union to strike.
