?’”

<span>Here is why Thoreau’s use of rhetorical questions contributes to the persuasiveness and message in “Civil Disobedience”:  A rhetorical question is a question that is asked, but for which an answer is not needed because the answer should be obvious enough to readers/audience members will know what is considered by the author/speaker as the appropriate response.  Rhetorical questions will be used in the place of statements and are used to engage readers and audience members.  When questions are asked, people tend to think a bit deeper into the topic than they would have if just given information in the form of a statement.  Thus, when posed a rhetorical question—a question that has an obvious answer favored by the author—one is more apt to consider and/or accept what is being presented to him or her.  As such, rhetorical questions are persuasive by nature.  </span>

What is the best way to change this sentence from active voice to passive voice?
vazorg [7]

I'd say A.

The word "describing" or almost anything ending with "ing" signifies an action occuring now, or in the present. B, C, and D use "when describing" which leads to the assumption that these things listed are taken into account while the landscape is being described but answer choice A uses "when they describe" which is passive rather than active.

Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

I see the sunlight dappled on the hill,

A balmy afternoon in the late Spring,

I hear the sweet beautiful birdsong still;

It's a time when all the birds sweetly sing!

And the meadows of flowers sweetly blow,

They perfume the air with fragrance so sweet,

Sometimes at evening when I walk slow;

I stop to see those flowers at my feet.

I stop and stoop to smell their dear sweetness,

For they are filled with everlasting grace,

For sometimes they will my fair cheeks caress;

And brush their petals up against my face.

I admire they're so very sweet beauty,

They are a very fond treasure to see!

Explanation:

hope this works :).
