Answer:

critically important

Explanation:

In this excerpt, pivotal is referring to the year 1775. The passage is saying that the year 1775 marked a turning point that was critical in the development of the American colonies.

Before 1775, the only manifestation of the massive public discontent with the abusive British tax laws had been unarmed resistance. After 1775, this struggle became an armed one and transformed in the War for Independence that would make the American colonies an independent nation free from the British crown.

<u>Answer</u>:

Using the context clue, the best definition of pivotal as it is used here is critically important. So, the right option is B.

<u>Explanation</u>:

John Buchanan’s “The Road to Valley Forge,” narrates the complete story of how Washington grew from an inexperienced Backwoods General to a true Commander-in-Chief of a fighting force. America's greatest hero is revealed through the book.

He was intelligent and courageous who struggled desperately to learn from his mistakes, who converted a diverse mix of militiamen into a real army, and who exhibited to all the Americans that they could become create their own destiny. So, 1775 was a pivotal year for the Americans because that year was a turnaround point in their lives.

The figurative language is a metaphor. That is because she didn't literally burn out by one fierce moment of fire, it's a metaphor to show the strong burst of emotions that she had at that moment that made her feel as if she was burning. It could mean either that she got angry or fell in love or anything similar.

It expresses their feelings and opinions.(passive to active)

Explanation:

Passive voice is described as the grammatical construction in which the object and action are being emphasized rather than the subject. The subject in such construction becomes the recipient of the action and is being acted upon by the verb/action. It is primarily employed to show interest in the object or verb instead of the subject. The given sentence is written in the passive voice as the object is being emphasized and the subject receives the action and to convert it into active voice the object would be replaced by the subject('It') to shift the emphasis.
