The sentence written in the active voice is:  

Few People think seriously of doing something about accidents. The correct answer is B.

<h3>Further Explanation </h3>

To determine whether a sentence is an active or passive voice, we should look at the subject of the sentence. We use passive voice when we focus on the action or the verb of the sentence rather than who is doing the action (Subject). On the other hand, the active voice is a sentence that focuses on the Subject.

The general form of active and passive voice as follow:

Active voice: Subject+Verb+Object

Passive voice: Object+Verb+Subject

Here are some examples to change active voice into passive voice:

<u>Present Simple Tense</u>

He writes a letter ---- A letter is written by him.

They sell cookies ----- Cookies are sold by them.

<u>Present Progressive Tense </u>

She is writing a letter ----- A letter is being written by her.

Is she writing a letter? ----- Is a letter being written by her?

<u>Present Perfect Tense</u>

He has completed the project ----- The project has been completed by him.

I have written some stories ----- Some stories have been written by me.

<u>Past Simple Tense </u>

He wrote a letter ----- A letter was written by him.

Did he write a letter? ---- Was a letter written by him?

<u>Past Progressive Tense</u>

She was washing the dishes ---- The dishes were being washed by her.

Was she washing the dishes? ----- Were the dishes being washed by her?

There are two main things to keep in mind when trying to determine whether a sentence is written in the passive voice or if it is written in the active voice.  First, passive voice is when the subject has the action done to it, and active voice is when the subject does the action.  Second, passive voice will always have linking/helping verbs.  That said, answers, “A,” “C,” and “D” have the action being done to the subject, and all three have linking/helping verbs in the form of “are” and “be.”  “B” is the only answer where the subject (in this case, “people”) is doing the action of “think” and has not linking/helping verbs.

<h3>What happened after the incident?</h3>

After the nightmare incident, Kezia realised that her father was a caring father, even outside his big giant look.

She consequently realized that he worked hard and always got tired. For the fact that he comforted her when she had the nightmare and her mom and granny were away in hospital, she knew that he had a kind heart.

What is one advantage of using an image of an ordinary-looking person sitting in a jail cell on an anti-drunk driving poster?
shepuryov [24]

The image of an ordinary-looking person sitting in a jail cell on an anti-drunk driving poster suggests that those who drive drunk may end up serving time in prison.

Explanation:

Posters represent an effective way of conveying messages with little to no words. If designed successfully, they are easy to understand and often leave an impression on the viewer. Today, posters are used to promote many ideas, such as the decrease in smoking or drunk driving. During the First and Second World War, they used to be one of the main tools of propaganda.

Seeing an anti-drunk driving poster with an image of an ordinary-looking person sitting in a jail cell can lead us to one conclusion - that those who drive drunk may end up serving time in prison.

  • We can't consider statement A correct, as we don't know whether or not people in prison know not to drive drunk. Some of them may, while some of them may not.
  • Statement C is not correct, because we can confidently say that not everyone who drives drunk is in prison.
  • Statement D is also incorrect, as, once again, we know that not everyone who drives drunk has a prison record.

What are non traditional groups? Write about no traditional groups and the potential employment barriers for these groups. Also,
Nimfa-mama [501]
Those with disabilities whether physical (like missing a limb, or being blind) or intellectual (like Down syndrome and autism) face challenges that those without the disability do not. Finding a job they can actually do may be an issue, or finding a well paying job may be difficult. Those who have gone to jail/prison may face issues being hired because of their past. Employers may be hesitant to hire someone who has been convicted of breaking the law, and may find it hard to trust them if hired, leading to possible difficulty being promoted into higher positions. Illegal immigrants may have challenges when it comes to paperwork with jobs, as many jobs request to see your SS card and record this information. Immigrants may also be discriminated against. If doing under the table work, they may be exploited and paid far less because their employer knows of their situation. To overcome these barriers, employers must be more open to non conventional workers and insure all employees are being treated equally, which is granted with the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment. Some employers have taken steps such as working with the govt. to hire those with intellectual disabilities. The same also goes for those divorced of crimes that are deemed to have been rehabilitated and are making their way back into society.
