Dr. Wheeler entered the room and spoke words of advice regarding active verbs. The rebellious class decided that the final paper of the semester would be written entirely in passive voice. The distraught Wheeler made remarks; the students made protests. One student got out of his seat. He stood upon his desk and made a vow that he would never write another active sentence. Wheeler challenged him to a duel. He shed blood. He kicked butts. The students lost lives. People heard the student's shrieks. Concerned people ran down the halls of Henderson. They entered the room and saw carnage. They found Mr. Wheeler standing over the bodies and he spoke the words: "They made mistakes."

Active voice is when the subject of the sentence is doing the verb. Passive voice is when the action verb is done to something, but the subject is not actually capable of doing the action.

b.Rikki-tikki persistently holds on to assault the clueless cobra and winds up executing Nag during an awful battle.

c.Rikki-tikki follows Nagaina into her tunnel and murders her during a troublesome battle

Explanation:

A mongoose named Rikki-tikki-tavi appears on the doorstep of an English family's home in Segowlee after a serious flood, and the family safeguards him. Rikki-tikki turns into their pet mongoose, and he continues to check out the nursery, where he meets the two threatening cobras named Nag and Nagaina. Rikki-tikki barely maintains a strategic distance from Nagaina's sneak assault and winds up rapidly murdering a destructive darker snakeling named Karait. Soon thereafter, Chuchundra educates Rikki-tikki that Nag anticipates gnawing Teddy's dad when he goes to the washroom. Rikki-tikki persistently holds on to assault the clueless cobra and winds up executing Nag during an awful battle.

The following morning, Rikki-tikki petitions Darzee for help vanquishing Nagaina, and Darzee's significant other fakes a messed up wing, which occupies Nagaina long enough for Rikki-tikki to demolish almost every egg in her home. Nagaina then takes steps to strike Teddy, and Rikki-tikki continues to show the cobra her final egg to stop her assault. This gives Teddy's dad sufficient opportunity to pull his child to wellbeing as Nagaina races off with her last egg. Rikki-tikki follows Nagaina into her tunnel and murders her during a troublesome battle. Rikki-tikki effectively crushes the two cobras, and the nursery is reestablished to a quiet, quiet condition.
