<u>Answer:</u>

Margaret Spokes, the headmaster’s wife, can be described in one word as (B) Proper.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The story “Next term, We'll Mash You” by “Penelope Lively” is a story about the boy who is scared about his boarding school throughout. He goes with his parents to visit his boarding school. But he doesn’t quite like the school as there are “inky tables“, “rungless chairs” as described by the author in the story. Even the headmaster thinks the students are nuisances.

When Charles meets the other boys, they threaten him to beat the next time as they have this tradition of beating the new entrants.

Margaret Spokes is a stagnant personality who uses heightened language in the plot, pretentious in nature. In her meeting, she hardly even notices charles. All she wanted is the proper respect from the students.

A green grocer sells potatoes into passive voice

aliya0001 [1]

Is it you who asks over and over again how to change an active sentence into the passive? I must have seen some 20 such questions.

If so, you really need to learn the difference between a subject and an object, so you stop asking basically the same question again and again.

An active sentence has a subject (person doing something), a verb (what the person does) and either a direct object (the thing that takes the action) or an indirect object (the person receiving the thing that takes the action.

Mary (subject) throws (verb) the ball (direct object) to me (indirect object).

Mary throws me the ball. (Same thing, but in a different word order).

The passive voice simply uses the object (ball) as the subject of the new sentence and the verb is then changed to a past participle* and attached to some firm of “to be”. The original subject can be removed, or added as an afterthought,

So, the ball IS THROWN. The ball IS BEING THROWN. or The ball WAS THROWN — are all passive sentences. You can add Mary at the end with “by Mary”.

Nothing changes if you make it a question.

Is Mary throwing the ball? Passive: Is the ball being thrown (by Mary)?

(Look up the meaning of past participle if you need to).
So now, figure out your own sentence and please stop using Quora over and over again for the same grammar question.
