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.

How is being wise different from being smart? (5 sentences)
Archy [21]

Answer:

Being smart is linked to having the key to success. If you were smart growing up, it was almost a given that you were going to be successful. But what about the kid who lost his father when he was twelve, lived in fifteen different places growing up, had to start working at the age of thirteen to support his mother and two brothers, and still had to find a way to have a cool image in school? His GPA almost certainly took a hit due to some of those uncertain circumstances, and that perhaps caused him to not earn the label of smart. What do we do with that kid in our society? Do we throw in the towel for him and say that he has no shot in life because of his circumstances, or do we label him as a wise kid?

Explanation:

Hope this helps ya even though it's a bit late

My brother loves to cook, he especially loves to barbecue. Which answer choice best corrects the run-on sentence? My brother lov
yanalaym [24]

The correct answer is My brother loves to cook, but he especially loves to barbecue.

Explanation:

The sentence "My brother loves to cook, he especially loves to barbecue" is a run-on sentence because each of the sections in the sentence is a complete sentence, and complete/independent sentences cannot be connected using a comma. Instead, a semicolon should be used (;) or a conjunction such as and, but, or can be added after the comma. This second method of correction occurs in the sentence "My brother loves to cook, but he especially loves to barbecue".

nydimaria [60]

In ancient Greece, Ptolemy asserted that the earth was at the center of the universe. The sun, moon, planets, and stars all revolved around it.  

This is another compound complex sentence due to the complexity it has. It contains one dependent clause and two independent clauses.

So the answer is letter D compound complex.
