"I finished my research paper two days early."

A good way to determine active vs passive is to ask who performed the action. Did the subject perform the action, or was the action performed "by" the subject?

The subject performs the action in this sentence:

I = [subject]
finished = [action]
my research paper = [thing on which the action was performed]

In the other examples, the subject has an action performed on it. 

My research paper = [subject]
was finished/is being finished = [action]
two days early = [time frame information, not really important for the discussion here]

At this point, you have no indication as to who will finish the paper, do you? No. You assume that the paper will be completed "by me," but it could just as easily be completed "by my friend."

If you can add "by [person/thing]" to a sentence, it's passive voice. If you can't, it's not. Clearly, you would never say "I finished my research paper by me."

ella [17]

Answer:

B. Red Chief returns to the camp.

Explanation:

Red Chief was a troublesome young boy who was kidnapped by two criminals in the guise of camping. Bill who was one of the kidnappers was assigned to be his play partner. It was during one of their plays, specifically; Black Scout, that Bill was traumatized by the little boy and he decided to show him the way to his house.

When his partner came in from town after posting the ransom letter to Red Chief's dad, he narrated the events of the day and how he sent Red chief back home. To his dismay, his partner pointed to Red Chief as standing right behind him.
