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.

Some people think that the governments should give financial support to artists, musicians and poets. Others think that it is a

aleksklad [387]

Answer:

the art is something that is very important in our lives, it's impossible live without it, we always go to the cinema or listen some music, so the artists think it's important the governments help them because today the art is not valued, most of the people think people who do art wont have a good future and try to stop them from doing that, so it's important the governments give some support for them, because a lot of time their parents don't give support for them and they have to go out home, with no money, just because they want to do what they love in the future. But a lot of people think this would be a waste of money, but just because they don't give value to the art and they think is a west of time, but it's not ! art is so important and we need to give value to the artists, because they will do beautiful and historic things in the future.
