"It will be sought in this article to analyze..." it is a clunky structure?
I've been looking for in corpora and I found several possibilities (below), although their structure seems clunky for me.
In this article, It will be sought to analyze the tension…
In this article, it will be seek to analyze the tension…
In this article, the aim will be to analyze the tension…
It will be sought in this article to analyze the tension…
This article will aim to analyze the tension…
This article will seek to analyze the tension....
I'd like to use "It will be sought in this article to analyze the tension…" but I'm not sure if it's wrong or strange for a native speaker. It seems that this complement in the passive voice is not appropriate.
Somebody couls help me?
