There is likewise another diversion which is only shown before the emperor and the empress, and first minister, upon particular

These threads are proposed as prizes for those persons whom the emperor has a mind to distinguish by a peculiar mark of his favor. . . .

Answer: The emperor rewards his subjects for jumping over and under a stick.

A summary should focus on all the important details of a passage. Moreover, it should eliminate all the irrelevant, lengthy or unimportant details of a text. In this case, there are two important elements: the fact that the emperor gives out awards, and the fact that the way to earn one is by jumping over and under a stick. This answer includes both elements.

Andrews [41]
The third option, C, seems correct to me. This is because in Dylan Thomas' poem, it symbolizes night as death and light as life. Using poetic devices, he talks about his father who is on the verge of death (night) but should still defy his fate by clinging onto life (light) so that he doesn't go gentle into death. 

Let me know if you need anything else. :)

*The letter ..... Yesterday .<br> wrote <br> was written <br> had written <br> has been written
Naily [24]

Answer:

The letter <u>was written</u> yesterday.

Explanation:

Yesterday is a keyword that indicates the action happened and ended. Therefore, we have to use past simple tense.

That leaves us with <u>wrote</u> and <u>was written</u> choice. Last two choices are past perfect and they should only be applied when there consists of past tense in one clause —> e.g I had eaten rice before I went to bed.

Next, we have to understand between active voice and passive voice.

Active Voice

Subject + Verb + Object

An example of active voice is:

  • I eat rice.
  • I write a book.
  • I hit a desk.

On the other hand, we have:

Passive Voice

Object + verb to be/have + been (if there is) + past participle + by subject (if there is)

An example is:

  • Rice is eaten by me.
  • A book is written by me.
  • A desk is hit by me.

Active voice starts with subject causing something to object.

Passive voice starts with object being caused something by subject.

And we know that a letter cannot write itself so it cannot be a subject but an object.

Hence, the letter was written yesterday is correct, indicating that the letter was being done and not letter doing.

Read the sentences below. What does the phrase on the other hand show?
Bad White [126]

Answer:

That apple trees grow differently from tomato and other plants.

Explanation:

It says "Many plants, like tomatoes," which implies it's describing how a certain group of plants grow by producing seeds that grow the same variety of such parent plant. "Apple trees, on the other hand," is used to contrast the way the seeds from the tree can grow into a large variety of plants and are not limited to their parent tree.
