There are two main reasons why the police officer decided to shoot the elephant in "Shooting an Elephant" by George Orwell. However, weakness is not one of these.

The first reason for the police officer to shoot the elephant was because of his sense of duty. He knows that this is the job he is expected to perform, and although he is upset about it, he wants to fulfill his duty.

The second reason is that the police officer was worried about showing compassion in front of the Burmese. He argues that the British empire must appear strong and decisive in front of the people they have colonized. Therefore, he does not want the locals to see any hesitation on his part.

Which statement are written in passive voice ?

nlexa [21]

Answer:

the easiest way to identify passively voice is by checking out your verbs. choice A has "fought," choice B has "brought," choice C has "was filled," and choice D has "inspired." choices A, B, and D are all in active voice--the verb moves the action forward, and the subjects perform the listed verbs. the firefighters fight, the acrobats bring joy, the teacher inspires. choice C, however, has "was filled." rather than saying "the concerned citizens filled the town hall" (active voice, where the verb directly applies to the citizens and states the action the citizens are performing), it gives you a roundabout sentence. "the town hall was filled" instead gives the verb, which SHOULD apply to the citzens, to the town hall. C is the choice which uses passive voice.

Answer:

hello there

Explanation:

Lyddie is so taken aback by the interview when Mr. Marsden brings her before the company agent that she is speechless.

She is too embarrassed, of course, to ask them. she feels resentful of the injustice when she is fired, but she knows that there is nothing she can do about it. Mr. Marsden targeted Lyddie because she saw him harassing Brigid and stopped him. Lyddie understands that Mr. Marsden lied about her to get her fired.
