The answer to your question would be that when a writer does not know who performed the action in a sentence, the writer can still write a grammatically correct sentence by using the passive voice. That is, the correct option would be B.

You can change the word order of the active sentences with a direct object for the subject to be no longer active, but acted upon by the verb or passive. Take A & B as examples:

a) Mary fed the dog (active sentence)

b) The dog was fed (passive sentence)

klasskru [66]

Answer: She thought of the flour in her kitchen at home--half sifted, half not sifted. She had been interrupted, and had left things half done. What had interrupted Minnie Foster? Why had that work been left half done?

Her eye was caught by a dish-towel in the middle of the kitchen table. Slowly she moved toward the table. One half of it was wiped clean, the other half messy. Her eyes made a slow, almost unwilling turn to the bucket of sugar and the half empty bag beside it. Things begun--and not finished.

Minnie wasn't worried about the things that she should have been worried about.

"Well, I don't think she did," affirmed Mrs. Hale stoutly.

What does scout changing relationship with Calpurnia suggest about scouts coming of age?
nevsk [136]

Answer: Scout respects Calpurnia more as she grows up, and understands the purpose of her scolding.

Explanation:

Calpurnia is Finch family's housekeeper. She has looked after Jem and Scout since they were little.

When Scout goes to school, her attitude towards Calpurnia becomes different. Scout matures and realizes that Calpurnia only has good intentions. She scolds Scout for her own good. For example, she criticizes Scout for speaking about the Cunningham boy in a negative manner, but gives Scout a treat (crackling bread) the day after. This demonstrates that their relationship has changed for better.

Scout also goes to church with Calpurnia, where she has an insight into life of African American people in Maycomb. From that moment, Scout respects Calpurnia more, because she sees that Calpurnia is able to maintain a double-standard, and get along with both black and white people.

Which statement best describes the viewpoint held by many of the Jews of Sighet when they hear
tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

They view the atrocities as having occurred to strangers in a faraway place and so fail to see how they will affect Sighet.

Explanation:

Elie Wiesel's memoir "Night" is a recollection of the atrocities and discrimination that he and his fellow Jews faced during the Nazi regime. This book serves as a memoir to show the experiences and provide a first hand account of the Holocaust.

The Jews In Sighet were not really concerned about the atrocities done by the Nazis elsewhere. When Moshe the Beadle, who came from a different part of the country, told them about the discrimination that was done by the Nazis, they refused to believe and did not even care about it. Rather, they view it as having occurred to strangers in a faraway place. They also fail to see how these actions will affect or reach Sighet.
