Answer:

The revised version of the sentence would be as follows: When we searched the school for damage, we discovered a broken window.

Explanation:

In most English sentences with an action verb, the subject performs the action denoted by the verb. As the subject does or acts upon the verb, the sentences are said to be in the active voice. However, one can change the canonical word order of a sentence so that subject is no longer active, but being acted upon by the verb, as the original version of the sentence above shows.

In the sentence above, the construction with the passive voice is <em>a broken window was created.</em> As you can see, the direct object has been moved to the subject slot and an auxiliary form of the verb <em>to be</em> has been introduced.  For the sentence to be active again, you should introduce the doer of the action, the one that discovers the broken window (we). That is why the revision contains the personal pronoun in question.

EMERGENCY QUICK! PLEASE HELP WITH MY QUESTIONS! 1. What are some advantages of James Hurst deciding to have Brother as the narra
Natalija [7]

This question refers to the story "The Scarlet Ibis" by James Hurst.

1. The story "The Scarlet Ibis" is told from the perspective of Doodle's older brother. This child is referred to in the story as "Brother." There are several reasons why the story might be told from Brother's perspective. First, the story focuses on the relationship between the two brothers. Therefore, it is more informative for the reader if a brother narrates the events, as opposed to another member of the family. Moreover, Doodle has a developmental problem, which makes Brother the most reliable narrator of the two.

2. If the story was written from the parents' perspective, there would be significant changes in tone and mood. It is likely that the parents would not understand the connection between the brothers in the same way that Brother understands them. Moreover, it is also likely that the parents would have more pity and compassion for Doodle than Brother has.

3. If the scene was rewritten from Old Woman Swamp's point of view, it is likely that the scene would feature both brothers more prominently. First, it might show the struggle that Doodle faces earlier, which might indicate to the reader that Doodle might be in danger. Moreover, this point of view would probably focus less on the inner thoughts of Brother and more in the way the brothers interact with one another.
