Effectively Using Active and Passive Sentences Most business writing employs active sentences to improve readability. One way to

immediately improve your writing is to use active rather than passive voice in most sentences. Active voice and passive voice contain the following grammatical patterns: Active voice: Doer as Subject + Verb + Object Passive voice: Object as Subject + Be Verb + Verb + Doer (Optional) Using active voice in writing includes many benefits. The doer–action–object pattern allows for faster processing because most people's natural thinking occurs in this way. It also emphasizes the business orientation of action. Perhaps most important, it specifies the doer. Since business activities depend on accountability and coordination, knowing the identity of the doer of an action is usually important. In most cases, active voice also makes your sentences more concise. Generally, active sentences are most effective in business writing. Passive sentences, however, are more effective when you want to avoid blaming or sounding bossy. In this exercise, you will identify whether sentences are in active or passive form. You will also evaluate whether active or passive form is most appropriate for each sentence.

There are some differences between active and passive sentences beyond the structures given, for instance, the passive sentences will focus on the objects as the main element of the sentence, the passive sentences sometimes make a message difficult to read, and they are used in most of the sentences that have inanimate objects.

unit now, where has cain family lived? how does their current home differ from places the family lived before
Lynna [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

On the rural Southern farm where the Cain family lives in “Blues Ain’t No Mockingbird,” the family is independent and self-sufficient, able to find sanctuary from racial persecution. The same cannot be said for their previous places of residence. The reason the Cain family moved so often was due to persecution by white people: “Like people wouldn’t pay her for things like they said they would. Or Mr. Judson bringin us boxes of old clothes and raggedy magazines. Or Mrs. Cooper comin in our kitchen and touchin everything and sayin how clean it all was.” This quote reveals that Mrs. Cain has not been treated fairly as a laborer, nor has she or her family been treated with respect. She has worked and not been paid for her labor (probably by a white employer, given the historic context of the narrative). Imagine a white person refusing to pay a black person for labor during the Civil Rights Era! It is akin to a blatant pro-slavery statement. She has also experienced her white employer impeding upon her personal home-space, making condescending comments about the cleanliness, as if surprised that a black person could live so hygienically. Finally, she has experienced being given junk as donations, which expressed a judgment of her own worth and value. Today, many foster care agencies and donation centers for the poor weed out well-meant but extremely offensive “junk” donations in order to prevent the very degradation and humiliation Mrs. Cain felt at being given trash as treasures.
