Which sentence is written in passive voice?

English

densk [106]4 years ago

Answer:

C) The new office building was built by my uncle Danny.

Explanation:

Passive voice is a form or set of forms of verbs in which the subject undergoes the action of the object.

Passive voice is used, when;

1: We don't exactly know the subject of the action e.g. A snake was killed. (We don't know, who killed the snake), the trees were cut (who cut them, no idea)

OR

2: When the action itself is more important (want to emphasize action) than subject of the action. For example, A snake was killed by him ( snake being killed is more important or emphasized than who killed the snake).

An easy and short-cut way to identify whether the sentence is a passive voice or not is;

Passive voice always have a form of be (be/is/are/am/was/were) which are followed by third form (past participle) of principal verb. If it is not so, the sentence is certainly not a passive voice. And if it does have this structure the sentence is certainly passive voice.

What does " And my clay house mold'ring away" and " Nor grinding pains in my body frail" mean?
julsineya [31]

The poem "As Weary Pilgrim", by Anne Bradstreet is about finishing a journey (a "pilgrimage"). The author describes all the things that the pilgrim, having finished his journey, will never feel again. Bradstreet is clearly using the end of a pilgrimage as a metaphor for the end of a life, for the moment of death, and thus expressing her desire to reach that moment of eternal, blissful rest.

The phrase "And my clay house mold'ring away" refers to the body, aged and tired and near the moment of death.

The phrase "Nor grinding pains in my body frail" refers to that moment of eternal rest where there is no pain, only peace and bliss in the eternal afterlife.

Need help with these 3
xeze [42]

Answer:

1. True

2. False

3. True

Explanation:

Everyone has to comply with <em>laws</em> and no one is above a law. This included shop owners, managers, and employees, even the President or Mayor of wherever one lives.

Reducing waste in a shop or anywhere for that matter can help eliminate some hazards there might be. The trash can cause mold and that can make someone sick, which just adds another hazard.

A lot of labels can be misleading and not 100% true so ever so a label might say that it's "biodegradable" it might not mean that completely. It might only mean that it's qualified to be that just enough that they don't have to put that it's not. It all depends but I think it's safe to say that it might not exactly mean that it's completely environmentally safe.
