语法问题

1、The team leader didn't know who to blame for the loss of the match.
这里to blame 这里是被动吗
2、Small as it is ,the ent is as much a creature as are all the animals on earth.
这个AS....AS怎么理解。

Answer 1

The team leader didn't know who to blame for the loss of the match.
to blame 不是被动， 这里 who（=whom） to blame = to blame whom,
即= The team leader didn't know to blame whom for the loss of the match.

2、Small as it is ,the ent is as much a creature as are all the animals on earth.
应该是
Small as it is ,the ant is as such a creature as (are) all the animals on earth.
Small as it is 是插入语，同时强调倒装， = As it is small, 这里的 as 理解为= though （即使）
而the ant is as such a creature as (are) all the animals on earth.
是 as... as 比较状语（从句），其中后半句 as (are) all the animals on earth. 有没有 are 均可，没有 are 就是普通的比较状语。
有are 是比较状语从句，且比较状语从句谓语动词倒装，因为从句主语是 animals 所以用复数are, = as all the animals are (such creatures) on earth.
整句的意思是： 即使它是那么的小，蚂蚁也同地球上的其他动物一样是这样的一种生物（生灵）。

Answer 2

这里是主动表被动

第二句是不是多了一个are啊
