The correct answer is C. I wrote an essay about the benefits of exercise

Explanation:

An active verb is a verb that is part of the active voice in which the action of the sentence is clearly performed by the subject of the sentence, in opposition to passive voice and passive verb in which the verb acts over the subject, this means in passive voice the focus is the recipient (subject affected by the action) and the action itself, while the passive voice focuses on the subject that performs the action. Considering this, the sentence "I wrote an essay about the benefits of exercise" belongs to the active voice and the verb "wrote" is an active verb as the action is directly performed by the subject "I" and the focus is on the subject performing the action and not the action acting over the subject. Also, the grammar structure of beginning with the subject and the verb directly connected to it suggest this is part of the active voice. Thus, the sentence that contains an active verb is sentence C.

Read the sentence below about the Chicago fire of 1871. Schaffer told someone else to strike the wrong alarm box and that caused
Lostsunrise [7]

Schaffer mistakenly told his assistant to strike alarm Box 342, and as a result, firefighters were directed to an incorrect location during the Chicago fire of 1871.

This is the best example of adding concrete details. It specifically says which alarm box Schaffer told his assistant. The original sentence makes it seem as the miscommunication was the big problem. While it was a problem, the fact that the firefighters went to the incorrect location is really the reason the Chicago fire of 1871 was so devastating. Including these details makes the writing much clearer and easier for the reader to follow.

(from John Bright's speech in the House of Commons, 1844)
V125BC [204]

Answer:

The speaker seems to feel as though William Dodd is a liar who should be questioned

Explanation:

in the line, "Dodd states that from the hardships he endured in a factory, he was "done up" at the age of thirty-two, whereas I can prove that he was treated with uniform kindness, which he repaid by gross immorality of conduct, and for which he was discharged from his employment." this proves that the speaker is suggesting that Dodd is lying about how factor conditions were for him, and that he can prove his accusation.
