In the olden days the thunder and lightning lived on the earth amongst all the other people, but the king made them live at the

far end of the town, as far as possible from other people's houses.
The thunder was an old mother sheep, and the lightning was her son, a ram. Whenever the ram got angry he used to go about and burn houses and knock down trees; he even did damage on the farms, and sometimes killed people. Whenever the lightning did these things, his mother used to call out to him in a very loud voice to stop and not to do any more damage; but the lightning did not care in the least for what his mother said, and when he was in a bad temper used to do a very large amount of damage. At last the people could not stand it any longer, and complained to the king.

So the king made a special order that the sheep (Thunder) and her son, the ram (Lightning), should leave the town and live in the far bush. This did not do much good, as when the ram got angry he still burnt the forest, and the flames sometimes spread to the farms and consumed them.

So the people complained again, and the king banished both the lightning and the thunder from the earth and made them live in the sky, where they could not cause so much destruction. Ever since, when the lightning is angry, he commits damage as before, but you can hear his mother, the thunder, rebuking him and telling him to stop. Sometimes, however, when the mother has gone away some distance from her naughty son, you can still see that he is angry and is doing damage, but his mother's voice cannot be heard.

Answer:

In my opinion, it could be D.

C is wrong just by using common sense, B and A doesn't make much sense either. But D seems reasonable.

Rewrite the sentence in passive voice b) The department will conduct a programme on republic day
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

A programme will be conducted by the department on Republic Day.

Explanation:

In grammar, the term <em>voice </em>refers to the relationship between the action expressed by the verb and the participants of the described event (the subject and object). In English, there are two types of voice:

  • Active voice - the subject acts upon the verb.
  • Passive voice - the subject is the recipient of the action expressed by the verb.

In order to turn the given sentence into a passive one, we need to make its object the subject. The object is <em>a programme</em>.

The subject is <em>the department</em><em>.</em> In passive voice, the subject becomes the object of the preposition<em> by</em>.

The verb needs to be changed as well. The tense remains the same, but it needs to contain the past participle.

This is how we'll get the following sentence:

  • A programme will be conducted by the department on Republic Day.

PLZZ HELP!!! WILL GIVE BRAINLYIST!!!!!
vladimir2022 [97]

Answer: Dealing With Siblings

By: Me, duh.

Explanation:

Year 2009 (April), on a late Wednesday night, my brothers and I awoke to the noise of rattling outside our windows. At first, we all ignored the rattling and turned over in our beds and went back to sleep. But then, the rattling got louder and sharper. After hearing it again we all decided to get up and check out what it was. As my 3 older brothers and I walked outside in our pyjamas to see what was going on outside, we noticed that there was a strange smell coming from our backyard. So, as we all went into the backyard to see what this continous situation would bring us next, there it was... four big raccoons inside our trash cans. We looked at them and they looked at us, and we looked at them again and they looked at us again. Suddenly, each of the raccoons scurried away with pieces of garbage in their mouths. As soon as we all realized what had happened, my second eldest brother, Liam, ran towards the direction that the raccoons had scurried. Without hesitation, my 3rd eldest brother, Greg, looked down at me and said, "this is all your fault" in an angry voice. I looked up at Greg with a confused look on my face and replied, "what?! what did I do?", "You! What did you do!? YOU were the one that dad told to tie the trash cans up last night." "No, no, no. Dad told YOU to tie them up last night. But maybe it's just your memory loss getting to you again." Greg and I continued to argue like this until my first eldest brother, Matt, broke us up saying "Hey! It wasn't either of you guys's faults. Maybe it was Dads." Greg looked at me confused and I looked at Greg surpirsed and be both replied with, "NO", and then went back to arguing. Greg, Matt, and I started arguing with eachother before my 3rd eldest brother, Liam, came back into the backyard with an relaxed look on his face and said, "uh. am i inturuppting something?". Matt looked at Liam and said "Nope, just arguing about why the trash cans are not tied up. You know who it was?". "Oh! Yeah, that was me!" Liam replied. Automatically, Matt, Gregg, and I all turned our heads to Liam and said "what!?". "yeah, i was going to tie them up but I had too much work on my hands and was gonna come back to tie them up later." After understanding what just happened, Matt walked over to Liam and said "Okay. Its fine. At least they didnt get into the house!". Matt, Gregg, Liam, and I all chuckled and cleaned up the mess that the raccoons made in the backyard before going to bed. Nexxt time, we'll be prepared for those little bandits.

STORY MEANING: Raccoons mess with trash cans. Brothers argue about who was supposed to tie them up or not. Brothers turn on eachother before realizing that one of the other brothers had done it.
