Answer:

The revision which changes the sentence from the passive voice to the active is the following one:

They sang the newly composed songs.

Explanation:

In passive voice, the verb to sing is in past participle (sung), since it appears right after verb to be (were), indicating a passive action.

In active voice, the verb goes to simple past. The reason for it is that the in the passive voice, verb to be was in simple past as well (were):

passive voice: were sung → active voice: sang

Because the agent in the passive voice is "them" (introduced by the preposition "by", which indicates authorship), the subject or doer of the action in the active voice is "they":

passive voice: object pronoun "them" → active voice: subject pronoun "they"

Plus, there is a complete change in the order of the sentence and its elements when converting from the passive to the active voice:

The newly composed songs were sung by them. (passive voice)

                                         ↓

They sang the newly composed songs. (active voice)

Since you missed the given options, I will just provide the answer directly.
When a sentence is in the active voice, this means that the subject becomes the direct doer of the action. So, for the sentence to become active, it should be stated like this: They sung the newly composed songs. Hope this helps.

Answer:

A Christian Saint John of the Cross recorded the ´dark night of the soul´ to explain the movement from sin to true virtue.  

Explanation:

In the book, it is written about the toil and tribulation which directs the wrong-doer to a good virtue of the works of the Creator of living, which will eventually direct him on to significant peace.

The nature of the individual who is searching to receive God's courtesy is tried out in the shadows of their own arrogance.

Although that person may carry out righteous acts prior to others and themselves, the sincerity of a person's nature, which God will eventually decide, rests within their inner wanting for a greater spiritual state.

Explanation:

the christian mystic saint john of the cross wrote about the ´dark night of the soul´ to describe the passage from sin towards true righteousness. he writes about the toil and tribulation which leads the sinner towards a greater appreciation of the works of god, which will ultimately lead him on to greater self-peace and fortitude.

before one can strive for the rewards of the blessings of god there must be some sort of test of character which proves that the holy spirit allows the individual to partake in the holiness which is bestowed by god. the progress from an initial state, where the character of the individual is in a raw unworked   form, towards a final end where the person will receive the love of god in a full manifestation, is only brought about through a test of character.

the character of the person who is looking to receive god's grace is tested in the shadows of their own pride. even though that person may perform righteous acts before others and themselves, the truth of a person's character,   which god will ultimately judge, lies within their interior wanting for a higher spiritual state.

the desire for spiritual pleasure is not the same as attaining a higher revelation of god's glory. as such, humility is very important as well as temperance in striving towards the highest light. to contemplate the darkness of our own soul implies a test of character beyond spiritual vice.
