Answer:
Active: Unknown factors delayed the 9:15 train from Pittsburgh.
Passive: The 9:15 train from Pittsburg was delayed by unknown factors.
Explanation:
The sentence is already active. The object of the sentence is ‘the train from Pittsburgh’ and the subject is ‘unknown factors’. The subject of the sentence performs an direct action over the object (delayed), so it is an active sentence. When we give more importance to the object of the sentence it becomes passive, as it is stated in the second sentence: The 9:15 train from Pittsburg was delayed by unknown factors.
Diction is word/phrase choice in a writing, and jargon is a set of terms that are used within a specialized group--for example, legal terms used within a law office would be considered jargon. not everyone knows what a docket is, or what it means to be subpoenaed. diction is simply the words a writer chooses when crafting a work.
they're similar in the way that they're both parts of language and they're both rhetorical strategies. jargon can make a person seem more professional, as they use the specialized language of their skill, and that ties into diction because specialized word choice can have a great effect on people.
Hello!
Redundancy of language means when something is repeated more than once in a sentence.
1. The answer cannot be A because "wily" is a synonym of "clever". The sentence is therefore saying: "The clever, clever con artist..."
2. The answer is B because "wily" and "smiling" are two different words with different meaning. Nothing is repeated in this sentence.
3. The answer cannot be C because "grinning" and "smiling are synonyms.
4. The answer also cannot be D because "smart" and "intelligent" are synonyms.
I hope this helps you! Have a lovely day!
