Question

You have been instructed to compose a paragraph which tells a story about a day in your life. Your teacher has told you only to speak in the active voice. Which statement needs to be changed from how it is written?
A) I woke up that Tuesday morning, with no idea of what was going to happen.
B) I ate breakfast then left the house to drive to school.
C) On the way, I observed a terrible fire in the distance.
D) The fire was seen throwing off massive flames.

Answer 1

The answer is D because it puts you in that moment of time and in that mindset rather than telling the story in the past tense.
