PASSAGE
A graduate student is revising a thesis introduction. The original draft reads: 'Previous scholars have largely ignored the role of regional dialects in shaping early literacy outcomes. This gap has motivated my research.' The student's advisor notes that the second sentence inappropriately uses first-person reference and should be revised to use passive voice, while the first sentence, though active, is acceptable as written.
Which revision of ONLY the second sentence correctly uses passive voice, removes the first-person reference, and preserves the logical relationship between the gap and the research motivation?
