The Romans expected to conquer Carthage

  • A.Carthage was expected to be conquered by the Romans
  • B.The Romans were expected to conquer Carthage.
  • C.It was expected by the Romans that they would conquer Carthage
  • D.The Romans expected to have conquered Carthage.

Answer: C

Correct answer: It was expected by the Romans that they would conquer Carthage

Expect here is followed by an infinitive whose subject is the same as the main subject, so the passive needs the anticipatory it and a that clause. Making Carthage the subject changes who was expecting whom, and the Romans were expected reverses it entirely.
