Hi everyone, below is the sentence written in Page 132 of "Longman Preparation Series for New TOEIC Test" (Advanced Course) of Longman. Can anyone help explain the grammatical point of the phrase in bold for me.
"As was mentioned in our earlier announcement, the plane cannot leave the gate unless all passengers are seated and baggage is safely stowed"
I think that the sentence is incorrect because we cannot use was mentioned after conjunction "As". It lacks subject of the verb, so the sentence should be written:
As mentioned in our earlier announcemnet, the plane cannot leave.....
Can anyone please discuss this problem here?
