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.

photoshop1234 [79]

Answer

Chaucer draws on the  <u>ESTATES</u> satire prevalent in his time to bring out the traits of the different classes of society. He uses the technique of  <u>FRAME</u> story to hold the narrative together.

Explanation:

Geoffrey Chaucer's "The Canterbury Tales" is a frame narrative story told by numerous pilgrims on their way to Canterbury. The tales told by the different characters all reflect their true selves, according to their professions and backgrounds.

In this tale, Chaucer draws on the estates satire which is a writing genre that focuses on the societal classes of the time. Most writings of this genre occurs during the Medieval times where class/ status plays a huge role in the identification and understanding of a person.

Chaucer also uses the technique of a frame narrative to make the stories stick together. This type of frame narrative is when a story is included in the main story, like different sub-branches from the main part. In simple words, we can say a frame narration is "a story within a story". This happens when a narrator tells a story about a person who then narrates a story too.
