PLEASE HELP (will give Brainliest :) Which clause in the passage is written in the passive voice? excerpt from The Galveston Hur

ricane adapted from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration With the wind and debris swirling around them, the citizens of Galveston waded through the rapidly rising floodwaters. They sought protection in the strongest-looking homes and structures they could find. One of these structures was Isaac Cline's house, where his wife, three daughters, brother, and about 50 neighbors took refuge from the maelstrom. In what has frequently been described as the city's finest hour, the citizens of Galveston displayed exceptional resiliency and determination. They decided to rebuild and, in so doing, achieved a remarkable feat of civil engineering. The two-fold project called for raising the grade of the entire city and building a seawall to help protect it.

Answer: In what has frequently been described as the city's finest hour, the citizens of Galveston displayed exceptional resiliency and determination.

Explanation:

Question:Which clause in the passage is written in the active voice?

excerpt from The Galveston Hurricane adapted from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration

This is the answer because In passive voice, the doer comes after the thing that was done. Also, you can look for forms of “to be” followed by a past participle. In our example, “was” is a form of “to be” and the past participle is “passed.” Forms of “to be” are: was, is, am, are, have been, has, will be, being, and will have been

In that sentence u can hear the word been and has.The passive voice is used to show interest in the person or object that experiences an action rather than the person or object that performs the action. In other words, the most important thing or person becomes the subject of the sentence.In the sentence the most important thing is the city's final hour and the citizens.The way the citizens are described is how the way they reacted during that time

Also i do this in all of my answers now i do something from black panther movie.My favorite line from the movie THIS HOW I BE WHEN I BE ANSWERING QUESTIONS:Okoye:"just dont freeze" Chadwick/Prince(soon to be king;small spoiler) T'challa:What are u talking about..I never freeze. If u watch the movie and say what he said in that accent it will make u think of him and its so fun to do

What caused Frederick to change his opinion of Lincoln
konstantin123 [22]

Answer: Lincoln's issue of the Emancipation Proclamation (January 1, 1863) caused Frederick Douglass to change his opinion of Lincoln.

Explanation:

On January 1, 1863, during the third year of the civil war, Lincoln issued <em>the Emancipation Proclamation</em>. It stated that<em> "all persons held as slaves are, and henceforward shall be free." </em>This was a turning point for Douglass-Lincoln relationship, as Douglass realized that Lincoln was no longer focused on the Union - instead, he wanted to end slavery. Douglass did believe that this decision was long overdue, but genuinely supported Lincoln and his action.

What is the conflict in the book the perfect storm
SSSSS [86.1K]
The main conflict is defeating the storm.
Actually a convergence of three storms onto one Geographic location. Yikes!
Other conflicts include the shrimper's need to make more money by taking one last trip out to sea even though it was the dangerous season. The shrimper's wives obviously don't want them to go out again as they worry and don't like to be alone.
The shrimp boat owner encourages one last trip as he wants more money as well.
The shrimpers risk losing their jobs if they refuse to make the last trip.
