2. One man is a criminal and his best friend is a police officer.
Answer:
The book "Nectar in a Sieve" takes place in India, where the practice of giving dowries is extremely common. A dowry, in Indian culture, is a sum of money attached to a woman of marrying age to be given to her husband/husband's family when they get married.
The larger the dowry the better, because more respectable and promising men tend to receive the brides with the largest dowries. However, if the woman is exceptionally attractive, they may still be able to catch the eye of the more promising men. In the novel, Rukmani describes herself as having no dowry and having little beauty. Because of this, she ends up betrothed to a poor farmer, and her prospects are extremely limited. Her daughter, Ira, however, is able to marry significantly above her station, as she is considered very beautiful.
So, in most cases, a dowry will determine your fate and how well of a life you will be able to live later on. In some cases, though not often, you can rise above this fate.
Answer:
The answer is C.
Explanation:
Active voice basically means that there is a subject performing the action given by the verb, there also has to be an object upon which this action is performed. ( I am making a cake. )
Contrary to that passive voice means that the object of an active sentence has become a subject. ( The cake is being made. )
We can see that the verb has changed its form to past participle.
Regarding your question, we have Joe (subject) who is supposed to reinforce (verb) the side of the cabin (object).
Whenever a sentence follows the pattern of subject, then verb, then object, it is in active voice, so the answer is C.
