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.

Consider this procedural text.
german

Answer: The subject of the text is inflating car tires. If someone follows the procedure he/she will correctly put air in car tires and keep the ideal pressure.

Explanation:

A procedural text provides steps or instructions to complete a process, for example, a recipe is a procedural text that helps readers cook something. Additionally, the subject is the topic the text covers, which is explained or supported through the steps or the procedure described. In the case of the text presented, this describes the steps to put air on car tires or inflating them. This is explained through details such as "you will need to know the recommended pressure" or "Then connect a tire gauge on the valve stem". According to this, the subject is inflating car tires because this is the topic the text covers.

Besides this, it is expected that if someone follows the steps he or she will inflate tires appropriately and will keep an ideal pressure in the tires, which is supported by details such as "release the excess air until your tires are inflated at the correct pressure" that shows the author wants to make sure the reader checks the pressure, and verify this is appropriate all the time.

What is the author's purpose for using a black spot on
vaieri [72.5K]

Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:

What is the author's purpose for using a black spot on the paper?

Read the passage from "The Lottery."

Bill Hutchinson went over to his wife and forced the slip of paper out of her hand. It had a black spot on it, the black spot Mr. Summers had made the night before with the heavy pencil in the coal-company office. Bill Hutchinson held it up, and there was a stir in the crowd.

O to represent the darkness of death

to maintain the tradition of the lottery

O to enhance the mystery of the lottery

O to represent the horror of disobedience

Answer:

O to enhance the mystery of the lottery

Explanation:

The author presents the black spot on the paper as a way to convey a mysterious sensation to the reader. This is because the reader does not understand what this black spot represents, but understands that it is not a good and fun thing. In this way the reader begins to doubt the nature of the lottery and what it refers to. In this case, the author manages to show through the black spot on the paper, the mystery that the lottery carries, thus imposing a suspense in the plot.
