Step-by-Step Analysis
We are given 11 sentences and need to identify, for each, the tense and the voice.

The provided selections are: tense = present tense; voice = passive voice. The German verb form 'werden angepasst' is a present tense construction using the auxiliary werden plus the past participle angepasst, which signals a present continuous action. The subject 'die Studienangebote' is the recipient of the action (they are being adapted), which indicates passive voice. An active voice would require 'jemand passt ... an' with the subject performing the action, which is not the case here. 2) Sentence 2: 'Die Veränderungen in der Atmosphäre ... werden heute weltweit diskutiert.' Tense: present tense. The form 'werden ... diskutiert' is present tense passive; the activity of discussing changes is happening (are discussed) worldwide today......Login to view full explanation
