C. I can think of something better to​ do, such​ as: taking a walk or reading a book.

A colon does not belong after such as because it is a redundancy. Using the phrase such as is similar to using the phrase for example. They both indicate that a list is about to follow so the colon is not needed. Options A and B need a colon for the same reason. They both are used after a complete sentence and clarify the information in the sentence. Option D uses a colon correctly because it also comes after a complete sentence before the list of items that clarify what you should bring.

Explain why passive rather than active verb forms are used in certain types of text
Verdich [7]
ANSWER: Passive verb forms are used to shift the focus off the agent and onto the subject. 

There are two nouns in a basic sentence; a subject and an agent. The agent acts on the subject. Here, the subject is bolded and the agent is italicized. 
I ate <em>cereal. 

^ </em>That is an active sentence, because it focuses on the 'I'. Below are examples of passive sentences. 
<em>
</em><em>Cereal </em>was eaten by me. 
<em></em><em>Cereal </em>was eaten. 

^As you can see, sometimes passive sentences don't even contain a subject. This is particularly useful when you want to divert attention from the agent, such as when your sibling asks where the last bit of cereal went (Doesn't <em></em>'The cereal was eaten' sound less guilty than 'I ate the cereal'?)

Hope this helped!
