Don't Be Influenced by the Grammatically Defective Media
You're confusing "comprise" with "compose." "Comprise" is similar to "contain." You wouldn't say, "A carton is comprised of twelve eggs," so don't use "comprise" passively.
Thanks, but I'm not confusing comprise with compose.
"A dozen is comprised of 12 individual units." - correct use of passive voice
"Twelve eggs comprise a dozen." - correct use of active voice
No grammatical rule forbids the use of passive voice with the verb comprise.
