The sentence that emphasizes that the subject of the sentence is doing the action is A. The farmer sold over forty pumpkins at the local market on Saturday.

Option A is in active voice, while the others are in passive voice. One of the reasons for choosing to use passive or active voice is the emphasis on the subject and doer of the action. Passive voice is usually used when the subject is not really important and what you want the audience pay attention to is the action itself. That is why, in passive voice, the agent ("by the farmer") can and usually is ommitted.

In active voice, on the other hand, the focus is on the person that is doing the action rather than on the action itself.

 <span>He is happier traveling and exploring. This is shown in how he takes a detour at the beginning of his journey to the Ciccones despite the fact that it was in a different direction to Ithaca and he had already been adventuring for 10 years before that. His love of exploring is also shown in how he waits for the cyclops to come home rather than just steal his stuff- he wants to spread his name around. He had to take care of the suitors at home because it was his duty as an epic hero to protect his oikos, so he saw this as more of a chore than fun.</span>

Hello. You forgot to enter the answer options. The options are:

eliminate injustice

a desire to teach people to appreciate each moment of the freedom they have

Answer:

the realization that the world knew about the horrors of the Holocaust but said nothing

Explanation:

Wiesel decided to reinforce the idea that the torture and extermination of the Jews during the holocaust was not something kept secret, something that the world did not know was happening. On the contrary, the whole world knew about the inhuman treatment that the Jews were suffering in the holocaust, but they said nothing about it, they kept silent, as a way of supporting the suffering of others.
