Tea or coffee: voz passiva com agente (B1)

Tea and coffee are the two most popular drinks in the world after water, and each one has created an enormous industry. Coffee ___ in more than seventy countries by millions of small farmers, and Brazil produces about a third of the global harvest. Tea travelled from China to Britain and became a national symbol there. Both plants need particular temperatures and rainfall, so climate change is already reducing the areas where they grow well. Prices in the supermarket rarely show how little money reaches the people who pick the leaves.

Assinale a alternativa que completa corretamente a lacuna do texto.

  1. A) are grown
  2. B) is grown
  3. C) is growing
  4. D) grows
  5. E) has grown
Ver gabarito comentado

Resposta correta: B

A presença do agente "by millions of small farmers" mostra que a frase está na voz passiva, formada aqui por "is" + particípio, já que "coffee" é substantivo incontável e leva verbo no singular. "Are grown" quebra a concordância com esse sujeito. "Is growing", "grows" e "has grown" são formas ativas e ficam agramaticais diante do complemento agentivo introduzido por "by".
