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.

Answer:

Some goals of the progressives are that child labor is very disgraceful. They would go to any extent to free kids who were slaved in labor. They tried there best and did everything they could. But sadly not all kids were saved.

The main objectives of the Progressive movement were addressing problems caused by industrialization, urbanization, immigration, and political corruption. Social reformers were primarily middle-class citizens who targeted political machines and their bosses.

Ber [7]

Okay, I can't write it for you but I can give you some advice from a writer.

Step 1. Brainstorm. Pick a topic and just spill all your ideas onto a page, there doesn't have to be any organization. Make sure that when you choose your topic it's something that you would actually and enjoy, that will make it a lot easier to write.

Step 2. Once you have your topic and some ideas on how to develop it, start to organize your thoughts into paragraphs and label them with the appropriate progressions: the exposition, rising action, complicating incident, climax, and a resolution.

Step 3. After you've written your outline, you just have to jump in and start writing. If you went in with a strong enough plan and stick to it, then your story should come out fairly well.

Step 4: Final draft, make sure that all the requirements have been filled. Don't forget to put it into a grammar/spelling checker to make sure there aren't any mistakes. After you are finished, read it out loud to yourself or put it in a text reader so you can hear it aloud.

And you're done! I hope this helps, if you need any more assistance feel free to message me.
