There are also some transitive active sentences, semi-transitive active sentences, and intransitive active voices found in the active sentences of the article. Conditional passive sentences also appear most frequently followed by action passive sentences, intransitive passive sentences, and transitive passive sentences. It can be concluded that Karni Ilyas, apart from wanting to state that the government as a subject who takes action also always sees problems as the government's responsibility. This can be seen from the active sentences used in the article. In addition, Karni Ilyas always places the people or society as subjects or as victims in passive sentences when analysed from the passive sentences used in articles.
