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).

icang [17]
<span>The correct answer is B. Meter does not influence the setting of a poem.

Meter influences meaning, rhythm, and pace. Meter influences these elements because it is a pattern of beats. As a result, meter directly affects rhythm and pace. Meter can also influence the meaning of the poem, because meter can control whether the poem sounds happy or sad.
 
Meter does not, however, influence the setting. The poet conveys the setting through word choice and imagery, both of which are separate from meter.</span>

Speech on tolerance and peace
balu736 [363]
Good morning one and all present here ,
Tolerance is the advantage of a cultured age. It helps us to put up with those who have diverse traditions and thoughts, distinct philosophies and point of views.

Our ability to tolerate the opinion or behavior other people is the key for living a peaceful life. If we practice patience in our every actions and deed, speech and behavior, it will lead to peace. Otherwise, it would be an atmosphere of disagreement and confusion. In ancient days we had intolerance everywhere. Intolerance means refusal to be just and fair because of being narrow-minded and blind selfishness. It is the result of inflexibility, a certainty that there is only one belief that is right. Without broadmindedness, people waste their energy on pointless arguments.

Man is a social being and has to live in a spirit of harmony and cooperation with others. In this process some amount of giving and take is necessary. So with all these examples, it is crystal clear that tolerance is at the root of the peaceful solution of problems of all kinds. Hence, we have to cultivate the habits of understanding.

How to Promote Peace and Tolerance?

How can one promote peace and tolerance? The first reasonable thing that would probably come to mind is by adopting rules, regulations, laws, and declarations. Just take an example, the General Conference of UNESCO adopted the Declaration of Principles on Tolerance on 16 November 1995.

It must have marked a new chapter in the long evolution of the idea of peace and tolerance, successfully getting it across to every single living being or did it? What if we take a look at it and any other such document from a different perspective, zooming in on just two tiny pieces of the full diversity? Not at the state level but the very grassroots through the eyes of two ordinary representatives of humankind?

Innovative project

Promoting understanding and peace is innovative. We have to remind people why life is beautiful, why they should work together, and why we must help each other. Because it’s not about race, or language, or color, or religion, or who is right and who is wrong, it’s about bringing together our world, healing each other, and embracing diversity, also teaching not to fear but to love, and this in return will give us a new peaceful world.

Acceptance and understanding are the answers to create peace, and this key is the way to implement the values of tolerance, through various means. For instance:

Education: As the great Nelson Mandela said and I quote “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” With an educational system, we can inspire the future generation to live in peace, and they may pass on this idea to their children. Especially in primary school, if children are taught about this continually, there is more chance that the lesson will stick to their minds, and maybe inspire them to do more for their communities and spread peace in the process.
Law: Laws should be fair to everyone, for white, black, Muslim, Christian. Because the law is above all of us, and the justice must consist of all the judgment, and look at people in equal.
Media: Nowadays, media is so powerful, because of it the world becomes a small village, and through it (TV show, news, programs) it will be easier to spread the idea of tolerance and peace and to sow as fast as possible these values in viewer’s hearts.

Thank you
