Answer:

The best answer is indeed the first option: <u>Wake up and quit wasting time inside. Get outside and into the light!</u>

Explanation:

In his poem "Song of the Open Road", Whitman talks of not wanting to be confined any longer. The speaker has decided to live out in the open, to travel and see the world. He even claims that healthy and beautiful people are formed by air and light, by spending their time outdoors. The speaker feels free and welcomed by the world, which is now his home.

In the excerpt we are studying here, the speaker is inviting someone, possibly the reader, to come with him. He's urging the reader to leave the confinement of his own house and embracing freedom outside. Thus, the best paraphrase for the passage is "Wake up and quit wasting time inside. Get outside and into the light!"

The first sentence best paraphrases the passage because the text mentions escaping the dark confinement which symbolizes isolation and loneliness. The first sentence accurately paraphrases  the passage's message to live life and not spend all of one's days inside a house.

which one of the following sentences is written in the active voice? A. accidents are considered by most people as unavoidable.
Mumz [18]

<span>B. few people think seriously of doing something about accidents. </span>

<span>
</span>

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.

<span>Mora includes the poem in her speech to encourage her audience to remember their family history.
Mora's speech is about immigrants who want to blend into the new society so much that they completely delete their own family history and background. She is obviously against this, saying that we should be proud of where we come from and not try to eradicate every trace of our family history just to become Americanized.
