A. 13 is believed to have been an unlucky number
B. 13 is believed to be an unlucky
C. It was believed that 13 was an unlucky number
D. It is believed that 13 has been an unlucky
Đáp án B.
Nghĩa câu gốc: Mọi người tin rằng 13 là một số không may mắn.
Câu gốc dùng cấu trúc “People say that…” với V1 (believe) và V2 (is) đều dùng thì HTĐ nên ta chọn đáp án B là phù hợp.
Lưu ý: Cấu trúc câu bị động đặc biệt với động từ nêu lên ý kiến (V1): say , think, believe, report, know, consider,…
- Dạng 1: It is/was + PPII + that + S2 + V2
Ex: They consider that she is studying abroad.
à She is considered to be studying abroad
à It is thought that he works for a bank.
