Answer: <span>A. The hungry housecat killed the small, grey mouse last Tuesday and left it on the doorstep.</span>

<span>With active voice the subject, in this case the housecat is doing the action. So with this sentence, the cat killed the mouse and then left it on the doorstep.</span>

<span>Passive voice sentences usually use the word was like in three of the four examples you gave. </span>

<span>In example  B the following wording was used: was left, was killed (that is passive voice).</span>

<span>Example C: was left</span>

<span>Example D: was killed</span>

<span>While example C and D start off using active voice (the hungry housecat killed) it finishes using passive voice. The tenses should remain the same throughout the sentence. </span>

<span>Hopefully this helped and good luck</span>

I think the answer is A because the subject usually acts out the verb.That is active and the action been done to it is the passive voice.

Speech about public VS private transport 180 words​
Alla [95]

Answer:

                   <u>  Speech about "Public And Private Transport"</u>

Nowadays people from all over the world are suffering from air pollution. One of the reasons for such a situation is the constantly increasing car usage. Are we able to do something in order to encourage people not to use private cars or to use them less? To be honest, there are only several things we can do. Among them is propaganda of the risks caused by private car usage. We can provide people with the main benefits they can get by using public transport and make the transportation prices more affordable.

First of all, advertisement is a very powerful “weapon”. Many people can remember the ad they saw several years ago. Advertisement has a very strong effect. It can impress people, influence their thoughts and even change them. Of course, it is impossible to encourage all people from all over the world to use public transport only. But still, a certain number of people will definitely give up using cars and will give preferences to the public transport as time goes by.

Moreover, we can also provide people with the benefits they can get from the usage of public transport. For example, it is possible to provide those people who use public transport with a 20% discount when they need to buy something. Also, it is possible to implement special cards that will be some kind of an opportunity to change bus to train for free.

As a final point, let’s take a look at one more thing we can provide people with in order to encourage them to use public transport. It would be advisable to make the public transportation prices lower. Let’s suppose that you pay 40$ per month to drive your own car. If you give preference to public transport, it will cost 20$ per month. What would you pick as the method of transportation? Sorry to say that it may be quite hard to set the price of 20$ for public transport, as transportation companies may be against such fee’s reduction. But if it happens one day, a great number of people would give up their cars and prefer public transport in order to prevent congestion and air pollution.

I’m 100% sure that all the ways we’ve mentioned above are still really good methods to encourage people to use public transport instead of private cars.
