Answer:
b. The flower bloomed earlier than expected.
Explanation:
The other three have 'was' before the verbs; 'the athlete <em>was</em> penalized', 'the child <em>was</em> fed', 'he <em>was</em> convinced', etc. This puts these three sentences in the passive voice. While, 'the flower <em>bloomed</em> earlier than expected' shows the flower acting the verb, rather than the verb acting on it, thus making putting it in the active voice.
hope this helps !!

Prediction-
Predicting earthquakes helps reduce the impact of earthquakes because it gives people time to prepare for them.
I'm not really sure what they are trying to ask, but I would say on a developing country the impact would differ because predicting the earthquake would give people time to plan.
Protection-
People have died during earthquakes, so having the proper protection would mean being able to take refuge in a stable building that would not implode or disintegrate. This would help lessen the amount of casualties, because most people who die in earthquakes are killed from fallen rubble.
Protection from earthquakes would also help developing countries find better ways to build their homes and buildings. This gives them the opportunity to perfect the construction of buildings that can adapt to the volatility of earthquakes
Preparation-
Preparation helps reduce the impact of an earthquake by ensuring that people have the correct and multiple resources needed to survive.
Giving people in developing countries time to prepare for an earthquake betters their chances for survival. Seeing as though they may not have as many resources as citizens in developed countries do, they must rely on other things. For example earthquakes in and underdeveloped country might the people living there to move out of their homes and into a more stable environment.
