Which line in this excerpt from Richard Connell's “The Most Dangerous Game” uses personification? "The old charts call it `Ship-

Trap Island,"' Whitney replied. “A suggestive name, isn't it? Sailors have a curious dread of the place. I don't know why. Some superstition—-" "Can't see it," remarked Rainsford, trying to peer through the dank tropical night that was palpable as it pressed its thick warm blackness in upon the yacht. "You've good eyes," said Whitney, with a laugh, "andI've seen you pick off a moose moving in the brown fall bush at four hundred yards, but even you can't see four miles or so through a moonless Caribbean night." "Nor four yards," admitted Rainsford. "Ugh! It's like moist black velvet."

Which of these statements is written using active voice? Donations have been provided to the shelter. The shelter was given dona
Kay [80]
In the active voice, the subject of the sentence is the one doing the action.
Example: George loves Hanna
Here, George is the one doing the action of love

In the passive voice, the subject of the sentence is the one receiving the action.
Example: Hanna is loved by George.
Here, Hanna is the one receiving the action of love from George.

Based on this, let's examine the four choices we have:
1- Donations have been provided to the shelter: the subject is not the one doing the action (providing donations). Therefore, this sentence is in passive voice.

2- The shelter was given donations by them: the subject is not the one providing the action (providing donations). Therefore, this sentence is in passive voice.

3- He often volunteers at the animal shelter: the subject is the doer of the action. Therefore, this sentence is in active voice.

4- Volunteering by him has often been done: The subject of the sentence is not the one doing the action. Therefore, this sentence is in passive voice.

Based on this, the correct choice is "He often volunteers at the animal shelter".

What is referred to in the first five lines of the poem?
Vlad1618 [11]
If you are talking about the following five lines:
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,And sorry I could not travel bothAnd be one traveler, long I stoodAnd looked down one as far as I couldTo where it bent in the undergrowth;"
Then we can say that the writer remembers being in a yellow wood at fork in the trail. While you read this part you can see that  the path is probably away from normal modes of transportation. He suggests in the poem that he will not likely come this way again, further backing the idea this is not a familiar place. The place called "Yellow wood" is named by the idea of  <span>fall with the leaves having turned colors away from green.</span>
