Question

1. what is wrong with this example directive?

\the knot that will need to be tied now is a bowline knot.\
○ it is too complicated to be understood.
○ it does not indicate that the writer thoroughly understands the process.
○ it does not consider the audience.
○ it is written in passive voice.

Explanation:

The directive uses the passive structure "will need to be tied" instead of a clear, active command (e.g., "Tie a bowline knot now") which is standard for direct, actionable technical instructions. Passive voice makes the directive less direct and clear for its intended purpose.

Answer:

It is written in passive voice.
