7. Read a passage from the text "A Look at the Intriguing History of Snowboarding" by Keith Kingston and find ten examples of passive voice.
In 1965, the "Snurfer" (a word play on "snow" and "surfer") was developed as a child's toy. Two skis were bound together and a rope was placed at the front end to afford control and stability. Over 500,000 "Snurfers" were sold in 1966 but they were never seen as more than a child's plaything even though organised competitions began to take place. The "Flying Yellow Banana" was developed in 1977. This was nothing more than a plastic shell covered with a top surface like that of a skateboard, but at the time it was considered a major advance in the little known sport of snowboarding. Hoards of fans began to organise regional events and soon snowboarding events were held in all parts of the world. In the year 1994, snowboarding was finally declared an Olympic event, much to the delight of fans. The not-so-new sport of snowboarding was finally recognised and meant a huge victory for serious snowboarders across the globe.
