Which sentences are written in passive voice?

English
1 answer:
Lorico [155]3 years ago
4 0

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: <em>One of my favorite authors wrote </em><em><u>that book</u></em>, while passive sentence is: <em><u>That book</u></em><em> was written by one of my favorite authors</em>.

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

in a group discussion, which statement most clearly uses evidence to support a conclusion? a. the author makes some good points,
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer: C) The author proves that he's biased when he uses terms like "silly" and "stupid."

Explanation: The words "silly" and "stupid" are the only instances of evidence among the options, since they were taken directly from the text that is being discussed. The closest example of bringing the text's content into the discussion is in option C (stating what the author has expressed), but that option doesn't present any conclusion. Option A is presented as a personal opinion with a vague origin ("I feel") and option B tries to back the presented conclusion with an assumption ("the author obviously hates [...] fast food") instead of evidence.

Read the passage below from “Marigolds” and answer question.
weqwewe [10]

Answer: Miss Lottie was an outcast who did not take care of her home.

Explanation:

That is the answer because the text provides the information and feeling that Miss Lottie didn’t take care of her home. Even if she were poor, she would at least attempt to keep her home and better shape than it was. The text does not provide enough information to say that the first two questions were valid.
