Answer:

The correct answer is the object is the most important part of the sentence.

Explanation:

In English, the passive voice is used when we want to emphasize certain part of the sentence, such as the person or the thing affected by the action. In this case, the writer of the sentence wants to focus attention on the object (the gift) by putting them at the beginning  of the sentence, thus making it the subject (and the most important component of the sentence).

After mary murdered her husband how does she create her alibi <br> (lamb to the slaughter)
Rasek [7]

After she kills her husband, she put the meat into the oven then she goes upstairs in her bedroom and practices in front of the mirror what she will say and how she will act when the police show up and ask her questions and puts on little make up to get herself ready. She leaves the house and goes to the grocery store and she buys Idaho potatoes, peas and a slice of cheesecake for her husband.

And now, she told herself as she hurried back, all she was doing now, she was returning home to her husband and he was waiting for his supper; and she must cook it good, and make it as tasty as possible because the poor man was tired; and if, when she entered the house, she happened to find anything unusual, or tragic, or terrible, then naturally it would be a shock and she'd become frantic with grief and Horror. Mind you, she wasn't expecting to find anything. She was just going home with the vegetables. Mrs. Patrick Maloney going home with the vegetables on Thursday evening to cook supper for her husband.

That's the way, she told herself. Do everything right and natural. Keep things absolutely natural and there will be no need for any acting at all.

Therefore, when she entered the kitchen by the back door, she was humming a little tune to herself and smiling.

How could dissappering bees diminish our food supply
Kay [80]
Since bees help pollinate plants, a lack of pollination could prevent certain species of vegetation from growing. Therefore, the plants could be driven into extinction. These plants act as a food source to many animals, so if the animals have nothing to eat, they'd die off as well. Consequently, our own food supply of crop and animal would decrease.

Write an essay disscuing your own moral or ethical code, where it comes from, and what it telss you. Discuss whether you think a
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

An amoral person has no sense of, or care for, what is right or wrong. There is no regard for either morality or immorality. Conversely, an immoral person knows the difference, yet he does the wrong thing, regardless. The amoral politician, for example, has no conscience and makes choices based on his own personal needs; he is oblivious to whether his actions are right or wrong. We used to think that people are born with a blank slate, but research has shown that people have an innate sense of morality. Of course, parents and the greater society can certainly nurture and develop morality and ethics in children. Humans are ethical and moral regardless of religion and God. People are not fundamentally good nor are they fundamentally evil. However, a Pew study found that atheists are much less likely than theists to believe that there are "absolute standards of right and wrong."
