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.

How are narratives like Equiano’s autobiography more effective in their indictment of slavery than shorter political or polemica
Anvisha [2.4K]
The best answer for such question is letter A: Readers can identify with the narrator, making the issue of slavery less abstract. 

The autobiography is a detailed description of the many forms of violations made on African slaves during that time period. It gave the readers the chance to see it clearly in the light and they got a chance to read a firsthand experience on what was happening back then.

What is the theme of the movie "Smallfoot" and what are some reasoning?
RUDIKE [14]

The theme of the film is to trust your convictions, even when everyone says they are impossible.

We can arrive at this answer because:

  • "Smallfoot," tells the story of Migo and Percy Patterson.
  • Migo is a yeti, who lives in an isolated alley. He faithfully believes that human beings exist, yet everyone around him thinks otherwise and judges his conviction.
  • Percy Patterson is a filmmaker who can't get an audience for his work, but he believes he'll make it sooner or later. However, the people around him do not agree and laugh at his failure.

The two characters end up meeting and helping each other achieve their goals. In this case, we can see that the theme of the film is related to the confidence we have in our convictions and this is related to our dreams and goals.
