C. The cases of asthma per 10,000 residents are increasing significantly among poor children who live in areas such as the inner city of Chicago.

The question is asking for the best claim restatement. When restating the claim, it is important to clearly state the claim without adding additional elements. The claim should not be restated with the same wording so some detail can be added to clarify but not change the claim. Option A adds the element of the government fixing the problem. This changes the claim so it doesn't work. Option B also changes the claim when it lists the contributors to air pollution. Option D is wrong for the same reasons. Option C is correct because it restates the claim in a different way and the additional detail only clarifies, it doesn't change the claim.

Identify whether this sentence is written in active or passive voice. Spectators filled the stadium

Paul [167]

Answer:

Active.

Explanation:

First one must recognize the difference between active versus passive voice. Active voice is where the subject is put before the predicate, and passive is where the predicate ie put before the subject.

Example:

Sally drove her car. --> Active voice, because subject is first.

Subject predicate

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The car was driven by Sally --> Passive voice, because predicate is first.

predicate Subject

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Furthermore, you can break down the predicate into the object and action. Using the same example below...

Sally drove her car --> Active, because subject is first.

subject action object

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The car was driven by Sally--> Passive, because action and object are first.

Object action Subject

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In your example, your subject (Spectators) are first and your action and object (filled the stadium) are second. Therefore, it is active voice. (also, remember that your action and object can be combined to form the predicate.)

Hope this helps!

In your journal, set up and complete a PATTR graphic organizer for "Reading" from Henry David Thoreau's Waldon.

STatiana [176]

Answer:

To begin, the purpose of the section is to describe human nature and how we as people interact with the world that we find ourselves in. As for the audience, it's truly all of us as a species. We have our differences, but Thoreau is under the impression there are some things we all have alike. The tone is rather formal, which sets up the theme of the piece quite well. Lastly, the rhetorical strategy used must be logos, since Thoreau is basing his argument off of human stimuli rather than emotions or credibility itself.

13. If you're not told otherwise, who is your audience when you are writing? A. The teacher B. The reader C. Yourself D. Your fr

Anvisha [2.4K]

A. The teacher.

If you are not told otherwise in the writing prompt or directions for any academic writing you are doing, it is always safe to assume your audience is your teacher. As such, writing should always be as formal/professional as possible with the understanding, too, that your audience should never be considered “all knowing” because this tends to lead to vague writing in need of elaboration. However, when in doubt, please keep in mind that if there is ever any question with regard to who your audience should be, always ask your teacher/professor.
