He was arrested on a charge of theft, but for lack of evidence he was released.

  • A.He was arrested on a charge of theft, but was released for lack of evidence
  • B.The police arrested him on a charge of theft, but for lack of evidence he was released.
  • C.The police arrested him on a charge of theft, but for lack of evidence released him.
  • D.None of these.

Answer: C

Correct answer: The police arrested him on a charge of theft, but for lack of evidence released him.

Both halves go active. The first passive, he was arrested, needs an agent, and the police are the understood one; the second, he was released, shares that subject and so becomes released him. The option that leaves he was released converts only half the sentence.
