0 The answer is C. The key thing to remember about a sentence written in a passive voice, is that the subject is the target, 01i 00not02i 00 the agent, of the action. Thus, answer C is best because the beer 01i 00got drunk02i 00, rather than having done anything itself.

  • Still, I can see why you might have though answer D was correct, as one could make the argument that the subject ("I") is not doing the action, but commanding someone else to.
