The correct answer is B. Roger's quick thinking prevented a serious accident on the highway.

Explanation:

In language, the active voice occurs when the subject of the sentence directly acts. In terms of grammar, this can be identified because the sentence presents the subject, then the verb and finally any object or complement if necessary. On the opposite, in the passive voice the emphasis is the actions and the object or complement, because of this, the object is first presented, then the verb (auxiliary verb followed by past participle) a finally the subject although this can be omitted.

Considering this, from the options presented the only sentence that is written in active voice is " Roger's quick thinking prevented a serious accident on the highway", because in this the subject if firs presented (Roge'rs quick thinking), then the verb (prevented) and finally the object (a serious accident) which means the subject directly performs the action and there is an emphasis on it. Also, other options contain the verb form "was prevented" that belongs to the passive form of "prevented" and therefore the verb form also indicates active voice.

Why does the Cyclops invite Odysseus back to the island?
Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

He realizes that Odysseus was destined to take his eye.

Explanation:

The epic narrative "The Odyssey" by Homer is about the journey of Odysseus and his men after the Battle of Troy. Their journey would lead them through encounters with mortals, gods, demons, monsters, etc. testing their very being.

In the given excerpt from the epic, the Cyclops admitted that Odysseus was destined to inflict the physical wound in his eye. He revealed, <em>". . . he foretold for time to come: my great eye lost, and at Odysseus' hands. . ."</em> But what he didn't expect was that Odysseus would be <em>"small, pitiful and twiggy"</em>. Nevertheless, he accepted his fate and invited Odysseus to come back to the island.

Thus, the correct answer is the first option.

Research suggests that laughter improves people's emotional and physical well-being. Write a research-based essay to inform the
Furkat [3]

Answer:

It is widely known that laughter helps to reduce stress, reduce pain and improve life quality.

Explanation:

Laughter increases well being while reduces stress. A systematic review on five laughter interventions and one humor intervention on older adults showed they can improve well being, though there is more evidence needed (Gonot-Schoupinsky, FN & Garip, G, 2018).

Moreover, laughter and humour interventions have great impact on personal development and self care. A systematic review presented outcomes to believe that these interventions may have better results when they are tailored on specific needs and objectives (Gonot-Schoupinsky, FN, Garip, G Sheffield, D, 2020)

There is also a training called Laughter Yoga which is made of different techniques and excercises. A study showed a positive effect on motor functional and flexibility in people with Parkinson (Akram, K, Nader, R & Ahmad, C, 2013) However, there is a need to keep on studying Laughter Yoga interventions (Bressington, D et al, 2018)
