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).

POETRY QUESTION - pls don’t copy and paste from the internet
OLga [1]

Answer:

There was a time when you couldn't search, text, or post,

You could only read, ask, and hope.

There wasn't social media,

No Wikipedia.

Only one huge encyclopedia.

You couldn't call a friend,

Unless on a landline,

The only problem was that took a very long time.

You couldn't click a button and get a perfect picture,

And when it came to phones, parents now are way sticter.

I love this future that we call the present,

But always remember that technology wasn't always this pleasant.

Explanation:

Good luck!

Choose the right word to complete each sentence in this excerpt from Bede's An Ecclesiastical History of the English People.
sineoko [7]
At another time also, being called to <u>consecrate </u>Earl Addi's church, when he had performed that duty, he was entreated by the earl to go in to one of his servants, who lay dangerously ill, and having lost the use of all his limbs, seemed to be just at death's door; and indeed the coffin had been provided to bury him in. The earl urged his entreaties with tears, earnestly praying that he would go in and <u>pray </u>for him, because his life was of great consequence to him; and he believed that if the bishop would lay his hand upon him and give him his <u>blessing</u>, he would soon mend. The bishop went in, and saw him in a dying condition, and the coffin by his side, whilst all that were present were in tears. He said a prayer, blessed him, and on going out, as is the usual expression of comforters, said, "May you soon <u>recover</u>.

To consecrate means to declare something sacred, and to desecrate means to violate. If you pray for somebody, you want something good to happen to them, if you bless them, you ask God's protection for them. Blessing is a good thing, curse is a bad thing. To recover means to get well, and  to deteriorate means to become even sicker.
