Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Children younger than 9 or 10 years often struggle with understanding passive-voice sentences, especially when both objects involved are animate or inanimate, making it harder to infer the action's direction. However, sentence A involves two inanimate objects (cars), which typically doesn't align with their expectations of how actions are performed (usually by animate subjects), making it more difficult for them to interpret compared to sentences involving clear animate-inanimate interactions or actions that are easier to visualize.
