The connotative meaning of the word “trunk” in the poem is “a container”. In the poem “<em>Verses Upon the Burning of our House</em>” by Anne Bradstreet (1666), the author expresses the traumatic <u>loss of her home and her possessions</u>. After awakening to the tragic event, she goes outside and watches her house and possessions burning down. Once the fire has been put out, she mourns for the physical items destroyed: the <em>trunk </em>and the <em>chest</em>, everything she “<em>counted best</em>”; her “<em>pleasant things</em>”.

In the space provided, write whether the verb in sentence is active voice or passive voice. Since the second century B.C., India
nika2105 [10]

Answer:

Active voice: In the sentence "Indian women <em>have worn</em> saris" '<em>have worn'</em> is an active voice.

Explanation:

In active voice the main subject of the sentence actively performs the verb; hence existence of a subject is mandatory for an active voice. For example, <em>"Indian women have worn saris"</em>, has <em>Indian women</em> as active subject who perform a verb (wear/worn).

In passive voice the stress is on action and not on subject. The subject does not perform an action/verb. For example in <em>"Saris have been worn by Indian women" </em>the subject <em>saris</em> are not performing the action/verb.

The easiest to locate sign of passive voice verb is use of any form of helping verb "be" i.e. is/are/am/was/were/be/been before the third form of principal/main verb. So whenever we find third form of main verb after any form of "be", we can safely identify it as a passive voice.

For example:

Solar eclipse is observed, Snake was killed, Ceremony will be held, Exams have been conducted.

In active voice, if any form of "be" (is/are/was/were/be/been) is used before main verb, it (main verb) will have "-ing" form.

For example:

Monkeys are eating bananas, They will be playing cricket, I was reading a novel.

Such was the impact of poet Ingrid Jonker that decades after her death in 1965, the late Nelson Mandela read her poem, The Child who Was Shot Dead by Soldiers at Nyanga, at the opening of the first democratic Parliament on 24 May 1994.

“The time will come when our nation will honour the memory of all the sons, the daughters, the mothers, the fathers, the youth and the children who, by their thoughts and deeds, gave us the right to assert with pride that we are South Africans, that we are Africans and that we are citizens of the world,” he said 20 years ago.

“The certainties that come with age tell me that among these we shall find an Afrikaner woman who transcended a particular experience and became a South African, an African and a citizen of the world. Her name is Ingrid Jonker. She was both a poet and a South African. She was both an Afrikaner and an African. She was both an artist and a human being.”

She had written the poem following a visit to the Philippi police station to see the body of a child who had been shot dead in his mother’s arms by the police in the township of Nyanga in Cape Town. It happened in the aftermath of the massacre of 69 people in Sharpeville, south of Johannesburg, in March 1960. They were marching to the police station to protest against having to carry passbooks.
