Is this sentence active or passive. The custodian repaired the classroom door?

Both active and passive sentences have an action, but only active sentences show very specifically which particular person or thing is doing the action. 

This sentence would be passive if it said "The classroom door was repaired," because then we wouldn't know WHO or WHAT repaired the door.

The sentence would also be passive if it said "The classroom door was repaired by the custodian." Such a sentence places unnecessary distance between the agent (the person doing the action) and the action itself. Why say the door was repaired by the custodian when you could simply say the custodian repaired the door?

So the sentence in your question is definitely an active sentence.

<h2>About Machiavelli</h2>

Niccolo Machiavelli (born in Florence, Italy, 3 May 1469 - died in Florence, Italy, 21 June 1527 at the age of 58 years) was an Italian diplomat and politician who was also a philosopher.  As a theorist, Machiavelli was a major figure in the reality of political theory, he was highly respected in Europe during the Renaissance.

Two of his famous books, Discorsi sopra la prima deca di Tito Livio (Discourse on Livio) and Il Principe (The Prince), originally written as a hope to improve the conditions of government in Northern Italy, later became a common book on politics at that time. Written in  1513, The Prince systematically explains how a person can gain power, maintain it, and use political power properly.

Machiavelli explained that there are 2 fundamental foundations of a country, an upright law and a strong military.  Therefore, a leader who can be said to be a true leader is a leader who has these 2 things to fight against his political enemies.

1. Strong fortress

2. Assistance from allied countries

3. Adequacy of logistics

4. Role to maintain troop morale
