BUP FSSS 17-18

The incorrect part of the sentence is "shaking."

Corrected sentence: "Cans of paint must be shaken to mix the pigments with the medium in which they are suspended."

Explanation:

  • "Shaking" is incorrect because it is in the present participle form. In this sentence, the passive voice is required, and the past participle form of "shake" is "shaken."

  • "Must be shaken" is the correct form to indicate that the action (shaking) needs to be performed on the subject (cans of paint) by an unspecified agent.
