Разбор

В задании 3 пассивные предложения соответствуют активным так:

1 — c (3.7 million people buy The Sun every day.)
2 — a (Gutenberg invented the printing press in 1447.)
3 — b (People have created thousands of newspaper websites since 1990.)

В грамматическом правиле нужно выбрать Passive, потому что пассивный залог употребляется, когда важнее само действие, а не тот, кто его выполняет.
