I took 8-4 quiz. It was not easy. It was about Active vs. be verbs. the question was In each pair, click on the sentence that has an active verb, not a weak be verb. (Although not all uses of be verbs are weak, you can assume that the examples in this exercise illustrate weak uses of be, am, is, are, was, were, being, and been.) I had two mistakes the first one There were several agents at Council Travel who could speak Spanish OR Several agents at Council Travel could speak Spanish The There were construction is wordy and unemphatic. Several agents . . . could speak is more vigorous and less wordy. The second one The CEO is aware of the fact that morale in our division has plummeted OR The CEO knows that morale in our division has plummeted and Is aware of the fact is wordy and weak. Knows expresses the point more forcefully. I got some of them right like Sudden weight loss can indicate many serious health problems AND We intend to update the company's Web site by the end of the year.
