There are four types of sentences. I'll list them below.
Interrogative sentences are questions: statements that end in a question mark (?). "What will they think of next?" is an interrogative sentence, as you can see from the question mark, so we can rule this one out.
Exclamatory sentences are statements that end in an exclamation point (!). "I simply adore cheese!" is one, because of its exclamation point, so this one isn't declarative either.
Now, things get a little trickier. There are two types of sentences that end in a period (.): imperative and declarative sentences.
Imperative sentences are commands--telling someone to do something. Which is imperative? "Please tidy your room." "We live in an amazing time." Obviously, "Please tidy your room" is an order, and so is imperative.
The only sentence left is "We live in an amazing time." This has to be a declarative sentence, which is simply a statement that ends in a period. This is a statement, and it ends in a period, so this sentence is a declarative sentence.
Answer: We live in an amazing time.
Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:
<u>The Nobel Prize in Literature was awarded to Naguib Mahfouz in 1988.</u> He was the first Arabic writer to win the prize. Mahfouz was born in Cairo, Egypt, and many of his novels are set in that city. Which revision puts the underlined sentence into the active voice? The 1988 Nobel Prize in Literature was awarded to Naguib Mahfouz. In 1988, the Nobel Prize in Literature was given to Naguib Mahfouz. Naguib Mahfouz won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1988. The Nobel Prize in Literature was won by Naguib Mahfouz in 1988.
Answer:
Naguib Mahfouz won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1988.
Explanation:
The underlined phrase features the passive voice. This type of voice causes the subject of the sentence to be receiving the action of the verb and not acting on the action of the verb. If we want to change that phrase to the active voice, we need to use the phrase "Naguib Mahfouz won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1988." The active voice allows the subject to practice the action of the verb and who is actually acting according to the verb.
