Therefore, the narrator suggests that he and his cousins have a tendency to talk about themselves.
Answer: <span>A. The hungry housecat killed the small, grey mouse last Tuesday and left it on the doorstep.</span>
<span>With active voice the subject, in this case the housecat is doing the action. So with this sentence, the cat killed the mouse and then left it on the doorstep.</span>
<span>Passive voice sentences usually use the word was like in three of the four examples you gave. </span>
<span>In example B the following wording was used: was left, was killed (that is passive voice).</span>
<span>Example C: was left</span>
<span>Example D: was killed</span>
<span>While example C and D start off using active voice (the hungry housecat killed) it finishes using passive voice. The tenses should remain the same throughout the sentence. </span>
<span>Hopefully this helped and good luck</span>

There are many factors that could hamper an effective communication. Some of those could be: social status (if you are talking to someone who has a more important status than yourself, it may happen that they are not interested in a communication with you), use of language (if you use inappropriate words, the conversation is not going to be successful), knowledge about the subject (if you don't know what you are talking about, the conversation is likely not going to continue), atmosphere/noise, cultural differences, disabilities, etc.
