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.

gayaneshka [121]
The function of the infinitive phrase in the sentence <em>To win a marathon is my goal </em>is object of the verb.
It is definitely an object, and it would follow a verb if it were a normal ordering of words in the sentence (My goal is to win a marathon), and since it is not preceded by a preposition, it cannot be object of the preposition, but of a verb.

  • Tone when writing is the use of <u>specific words</u> that influence the readers   and affects the theme of the message.

  • Please note that your question is incomplete as you did not mention the NPR article and without this, it is impossible to give you the answer. Therefore, I would give you a general overview that should help you.

  • There are two major types of tone which are negative and positive tone.  

  • Positive tone has to do with the words that are used by an author to show positivity or evoke good feelings. Negative tone on the other hand, is the opposite of positive tone which shows negative feelings.

  • Some examples of words that evoke positive tone: Happy, Approving, Appreciative, Calm, etc. Some examples of words that evoke negative tone include: Angry, Fearful, Uncertain, etc.
