Hm, are you sure you got the question right? Because all of the sentences are written in active voice! Active voice is essentially everything that is not in the passive voice, and I don't see any passive voice here.
Passive voice would be formed with subject+form of "to be" + past participle,
and we have no example of this. All of the sentences here are in active voice.
Answer:
A) Metaphor, B) Simile, C) Personification, D) Paradox, E) Allusion
Explanation:
A) is an example of a metaphor because it's a comparison of 2 unrelated things (the opponents face and a white sheet) without the use of words "like" or "as".
B) is an example of a simile because of the use of the word "as", and again, the comparison between 2 unrelated objects.
C) is an example of personification because an inanimate object has been given a human attribute. The win had a "heartbeat" which is an attribute of a human.
D) is an example of a paradox because the statement appears to be a bit self-contradictory but is true.
E) is an example of an allusion because it's an indirect reference to a person, place, or thing.
3x+1/5=2x-6 and subtract 2x on both sides and 2x will cancel out and whatever you get on the left side you add it to -6 and whatever that is you divide it by 3 on both sides and you will find x
