Answer:

The meaning of this excerpt is:

A) The speaker believes that she and her peers ought to be in charge of assigning sentences in cases like Hester’s.

Explanation:

Hester Prynne is the main character in Nathaniel Hawthorne's novel "The Scarlet Letter", published in 1850. The story is set in Puritan Boston, in the 1600s. <u>Hester has a child as a result of an affair, which leads to her being publicly humiliated. She is forced to wear a scarlet A in her chest, as a sign of her sin - adultery. Still, in the excerpt we are analyzing here, there are those who think of this as a light sentence. The woman who is speaking believes matters such as the one involving Hester should fall into her own hands and the hands of other pious women. They should be the ones punishing, choosing the sentence of women like Hester. </u>

How did the bill of rights help define American freedom
ehidna [41]

Answer:

The Bill of Rights is the first 10 Amendments to the Constitution. It spells out Americans’ rights in relation to their government. It guarantees civil rights and liberties to the individual—like freedom of speech, press, and religion. It sets rules for due process of law and reserves all powers not delegated to the Federal Government to the people or the States. And it specifies that “the enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.”

In which sentence is the underlined verb in the passive voice?
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

<em>She has been chosen to sing in tonight’s concert.</em>

Explanation:

Active voice of tense is when the subject does the action which the verb stated. In most cases we use active voice.

I <em>made</em> a cake.

Passive voice is used when we want to emphasize the action, not the subject of the sentence or when we do not who the subject is. We build passive voice by adding a past participle of a certain verb to a form of auxiliary verb (depending on needed tense).

Cake <em>was made </em>(by me - not important).

Regarding all said above, in sentences 1, 3 and 4 is used active voice of a tense. Only in sentence 2 (She has been chosen to sing in tonight’s concert.), we can notice the passive voice, so that is the correct answer.
