The public shall be notified by the bureau of a proposed action (in active voice)
miskamm [114]

Answer:

  • <u><em>The bureau shall notify the public of a proposed action.</em></u>

Explanation:

The original sentence is in passive voice: the public is not performing the action but receiving it. The passive voice uses the verb 'to be' + the past participle of the main verb: "shall be" + "notified".

The focus of a passive voice sentence is on the object and not on the subject: the public is the object; they will receive the act of the subject which is the bureau.

To change the passive voice to <em>active voice</em>, place the person who performs the action in the first part and change the tense of the verb to active form.

The subject that performs the action is the bureau.  Thus, the active voice is:

  • <u>The bureau shall notify the public of a proposed action.</u>

<u></u>

Now, the focus of the sentence is on who performed the action; thus, this is the <em>active voice</em>.

I really need help please
elena55 [62]

Answer:

Assuming this is based off the book the bluest eye..

1) Claudia and Frieda sometimes beat up Rosemary Villanucci because Rosemary regularly tries to get them in trouble and she also makes fun of Claudia and Frieda. Rosemary asks the girls if they want to humiliate her by taking down her pants, and the girls show how strong they are by refusing to do so.

2) When Claudia becomes ill she lies down. Her metal garters hurt her legs, but she leaves her stockings on to guard against the cold. The bed is very cold and she refuses to move after heating a spot on the bed with her body temp.

3) Claudia tells us that they loved him and that he smells nice, like 'trees and lemon vanishing cream, and Nu Nile Hair Oil and flecks of Sen Sen.' Sen Sen is a type of breath freshener, popular in the 70s and 80s, especially among men.

4) Mr. Henry hides a penny on his body for Claudia and Frieda to find.

5) The “case” is a girl who is homeless and is now set up in the care of the county because her father committed arson. The county decides to place the girl in the care of Claudia’s parents while her father is still in jail.
