English

Oscar Wilde mocks the Victorian society, he thinks the society is pretentious, full of self-importance, ignorance, and idleness. He thinks that upper-class Victorian society has some ideas that are nonsensical.

His character Ernest/Jack leads a double life, he was discovered as a baby in a handbag in the cloakroom of Victoria Station. He was adopted and leads a double life because he portrays himself as a major landowner and a number of servants that hide his poor past. He creates a false brother that is an irresponsible black-sheep, so he can lead a scandalous life without getting in trouble.

Jack has a respect for all these Victorian rules and societies social rules - such as marriage and the money that comes with it - even though he knows they are false the same way he is. He pretends to disapprove his own behaviors as a way to portray a right and just character to the Victorian society.

Consider the line "(the soil)/ Is bare now, nor can feet feel, being shod."
wel

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>"(the soil)/ Is bare now, nor can feet feel, being shod," </em>- by analysing the line, we deduce that Hopkins means people are out of touch with God because they're out of touch with the earth.

<em>The correct option is Option D. </em>

<em></em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Gerard Manley Hopkins’s “God’s Grandeur,” is an exploration of the bond between Nature and God. It is about how the Almighty is infused in everything around us, despite man’s effort to ruin everything. When the sonnet was written, industrial and commercial revolutions were at their peak which put extra pressure on the environment. To express his concern and to cause awareness among others, Hopkins penned down this beautiful realisation.

Explanation:

Basically, when transforming an active sentence into passive voice there are few rules to be remembered.

1. The object of the active sentence becomes the subject of the passive sentence.

2. The verb "to be" is used in the tense of the active sentence.

3. The verb of the active sentence is used in its past participle form and it, with the correct form of the verb "to be", forms the verb of the passive sentence.

Backtracing these steps we can easily convert a passive sentence into its active voice.
