Choose the correct passive voice using subject-raising for: ‘They expect the work to be completed.’
AThe work is expecting to be completed.
BThe work expects to be completed.
CIt is expected the work to be completed.
DThe work is expected to be completed.
Explanation
Similar to reporting verbs like ‘believe,’ the verb ‘expect’ allows the object of the that-clause to become the subject of the passive sentence, followed by ‘is expected to,’ giving ‘The work is expected to be completed.’ This subject-raising construction is a natural and commonly used alternative to a more awkward impersonal version of the same sentence.
