Answer:
The answer is: C. A fierce shriek of the storm had been answered by a splitting crash over their heads…
Explanation:
Passive voice is often used to emphasize a verb or the object in a sentence. In active voice, emphasis is made on the subject i.ethe doer of the action but in passive voice, the verb or subject is emphasized.
Passive voice could also show that the subject in that case is either not too important or we don't know what or who the subject is.
A way to identify passive voice is to observe what happened and what the subject in the text is. If the subject i.e the doer is omitted or occurs after the action has taken place, it's a passive voice. Sometimes you can also identify it by looking at the verb. If it's in past participle, as in "had been" (used in option C), it's passive voice.
The presence of "by" (also present in option C), which also turns the position of object to subject is also an indicator of passive voice.
Among the answer choices provided, that one that describes a preparation outline is the one that says it:
A. Is written in complete sentences.
A preparation outline, as the name suggests, helps us prepare our speech.
Even if it is just an outline, it must be written in complete sentences. A preparation outline should not use just keywords.
It should consist of three parts: <u>introduction, body, and conclusion.</u>
A preparation outline does not use bullet points, and it is used before delivering the speech.
The outline that contains delivery cues is the speaking outline, not the preparation outline.
With that, we can see that the correct option is letter A.

I also agree that the answer is B: whom
in this sentence you are using the preposition + whom grammar structure. Whom is considered an object pronoun and is used when asking who will receive the action, which in this case, I believe is, baking those cookies. Hopefully this makes sense and good luck.
