Answer:

a mental compulsion developed to neutralize his bad thoughts.

Explanation:

Tony has bad thoughts that make him nervous and understands that he needs to stop thinking about these things. He has realized that mentally counting odd numbers each time he passes his brother's room, as this activity lessens the incidence of bad thoughts, Tony repeats the activity several times during the day.  Tony developed a mental compulsion.

Compulsion is a repetitive, excessive activity and meaningless mental exercise that a person performs in an attempt to avoid distress, thoughts or worry. It is behavior designed to reduce psychic discomfort due to factors such as depression or anxiety.

which one of the following sentences is written in the active voice? A. accidents are considered by most people as unavoidable.
Mumz [18]

<span>B. few people think seriously of doing something about accidents. </span>

<span>
</span>

There are two main things to keep in mind when trying to determine whether a sentence is written in the passive voice or if it is written in the active voice.  First, passive voice is when the subject has the action done to it, and active voice is when the subject does the action.  Second, passive voice will always have linking/helping verbs.  That said, answers, “A,” “C,” and “D” have the action being done to the subject, and all three have linking/helping verbs in the form of “are” and “be.”  “B” is the only answer where the subject (in this case, “people”) is doing the action of “think” and has not linking/helping verbs.
