Answer 1

the answer is D. That old, abandoned house freaks people out when they walk by it.

Answer 2

The correct answer is "C".

This is the best option for appropriate syntax as the sentence adopts an active voice. The subject "everyone" is acted upon by the verb "scared". The sentence is then completed by the object which is the cause that everyone is scared which is the abandoned house.
