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.

When a pronoun does not agree in number or person with an antecedent that appears earlier in the sentence, what kind of error oc
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

The kind of error that occurs is:

B. a pronoun shift error.

Explanation:

Take a look at the following sentence:

"One could have done better if we had studied harder."

See how the sentence begins by using "one" and then suddenly shifts to "we"? This is an example of a pronoun shift error. The pronoun "we" does not agree with "one".

Let's analyze another example:

"Someone is knocking; and they seem to be in a hurry."

Although that is a common structure in colloquial speech, it is incorrect. "Someone" is a third-person singular word, so the pronouns that refer to it should be "he" or "she". "They" is a third-person plural pronoun. Therefore, this example too shows a pronoun shift error.
