English

Answer: Sentences 2, 4 and 5 are written in passive voice.

Explanation:

We use passive voice when we want to put an emphasis on the action and the object, rather than subject. In other words, subject is either insignificant in that particular case, or we do not know who/what the subject is. The object from the active sentence becomes the subject in the passive sentence.

For example, active sentence is: One of my favorite authors wrote that book, while passive sentence is: That book was written by one of my favorite authors.

We form passive from the auxiliary verb (often verb to be) and past participle.

What does Telemachus advise Odysseus to do? interrogate all the field hands and servants interrogate the field hands but spare t

Ede4ka [16]

The correct answer is:

- interrogate the women but spare the field hands for now. As Telemacchus states:

"Trust me, my father! thou shalt soon be taught

That I am not of drowsy mind obtuse.

But this I think not likely to avail

Or thee or me; ponder it yet again;

For tedious were the task, farm after farm

To visit of those servants, proving each,

And the proud suitors merciless devour

Meantime thy substance, nor abstain from aught.

Learn, if thou wilt, (and I that course myself

Advise) who slights thee of the female train,

And who is guiltless; but I would not try

From house to house the men, far better proved

Hereafter, if in truth by signs from heav’n

Inform’d, thou hast been taught the will of Jove.

What's the antonym for synchronize, alert, disharmonize, acquit, or duality.

rosijanka [135]

Answer:

1). Synchronize - Desynchronize

2). Alert - Inattentive

3). Disharmonize - Harmonize

4). Acquit - criminate

5). Duality - individuality/non-duality

Explanation:

Antonyms are defined as the words that have the opposite meaning of another word or describes the other end of that word. For example, the word synchronize means 'to occur with coordinated timing' while the antonym of this word i.e. 'desynchronize' stands for 'loss or absence of that coordinated timing.' Similarly, the words 'alert,' 'disharmonize,' 'acquit,' and 'duality' have their antonyms 'inattentive,' 'harmonize,' 'criminate,' and 'individuality' which mean the exact opposite or other end of these words.

In this excerpt from William Dean Howells's "Editha," which sentences contain sarcasm?

gogolik [260]

There are a couple of sentences.First, .."No ,you didn´t expect him to get kiiled."You just expected him to kill some one else.." The message is about deathe and the lady talks as if referring to a place that needed cleaning.

Second,.."they weren´t there because they had any say about it.."Again there is sarcasm in the idea that , though human beings, theyare in such a low position that they do not even deserve to utter a word.

Thirdly, .. you thought it would be right.....to kill the sons...miserable mothers.."The sentence contains sarcasm as it expresses an idea of doing away with what is useless.

Last, ...What you got that black.."She means that there is no reason to be mourning by wearing black clothes, a shawl.She is sarcastic because she is thankful for a deat."You thought it would be all right..".." to kill the sons of those h to prevent other deaths.
