ally: "Here are the long heavy winds and breathless calms on the tilted mesas where dust devils dance, whirling up into a wide, pale sky. Here you have no rain when all the earth cries for it. This is a land of lost rivers, with little in it to love, yet, it is a land that once visited must be come back to inevitably."

The question seems to be incomplete because none of the words in the comprehension was written in bold. But, here is the complete question:

Read the passage and examine the text in bold. Then, answer the question. Grandmother described our weather perfectly and poetically: " "Here are the long heavy winds and breathless calms on the tilted mesas where dust devils dance, whirling up into a wide, pale sky. Here you have no rain when all the earth cries for it. This is a land of lost rivers, with little in it to love, yet, it is a land that once visited must be come back to inevitably." If it were not so, there would be no one to tell of its harshness, beauty, and power. Does the bolded portion contain an error? "Here are" are the only bolded words.

Answer:

There are no recognized errors relating to the bolded words contained in the text above.

Explanation:

Inverted commas were used showing the sentence or word about to follow is  a quote from a person. Inverted commas are also used to notify a direct speech. There was also the use of a colon before the quote. The purpose of a colon is during the introduction of a quotation, an explanation or an example. The writer's use of punctuation marks in terms of the bolded words were genuine and served their respective purposes. Even at the use of capitals when starting a sentence. To the best of my knowledge and relating to the question, no errors were detected.

Answer:

The correct answer is: No correction needed.

Explanation:

This is the full question:

Read the passage and examine the text in bold. then, answer the question.

grandmother described our weather perfectly and poetically: "here are the long heavy winds and breathless calms on the tilted mesas where dust devils dance, whirling up into a wide, pale sky. here you have no rain when all the earth cries for it. this is a land of lost rivers, with little in it to love, yet, it is a land that once visited must be come back to inevitably." if it were not so, there would be no one to tell of its harshness, beauty, and power.

does the bolded portion contain an error? choose the correction if one is needed.

poetically; "here are

poetically, "here are

poetically "here are

no correction needed

The bolded part in the text is: "poetically: "here are"

In the text above, the colon was used to introduce the quoted words. The author was trying to quote his grandmother's words.

It requires no correction because in English, to quote a person's words, quotation marks must be used. Which was fulfilled in the text.

Also, to introduce the quote, a colon was used, which is the correct way of preceding a quote. Therefore, the bolded words are correct and need no explanation.

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.
