Answer:

A. Brandon and Jake haven't been told the news yet.

Explanation:

The passive voice is used to put emphasis on who or what receives or experience an action instead of the one who performs the action, and it is made up of the appropriate form of the verb "to be" + the past participle of the main verb.

Sentence A exhibits those characteristics: It puts the focus on the people who have not received the news: Brandon and Jake, instead of the people who told the news; and it uses the appropriate form of the verb "to be", which it's "been" (because the sentence is in Present Perfect), plus the past participle of the verb "tell", which it's "told."

The "a) Brandon and Jake haven't been told the news yet" sentence uses the passive voice. A passive voice is used for focusing the sentence on the action of the subject and it is not important who or what is performing the action. The A sentence focuses on the "told" action and we can not identify the subject of that, thus it includes the passive voice<span>.</span>

Answer:

The phrase that should be included to improve the clarity of the sentence is:

A. meaning they touch the snow only in the middle of the board.

Explanation:

Someone who does not snowboard will probably find the original sentence to be a little difficult to understand. We do not know what a camber is. Thus, for the author of the sentence to improve its clarity, that is, to make the sentence understandable to anyone who reads it, he must explain what a camber is.

Among the options, the only one that does that is the first one. The other options only explain that a camber is a technology used in snowboarding, but we still do not know what it is or what it does. However, the first choice lets us know that an inverted camber means the board only touches the snow in its middle. Therefore, it improves clarity.

Sergio [31]

Answer:

To create the plot of the play.

Explanation:

The original material that Shakespeare used was taken from the story "Un Capitano Moro" written by Cinthio almost 100 years earlier, which tells the story of a very eloquent and honorable black man who became a great general, but who was betrayed by a man who pretended to be your ally. Shakespeare used this as a basis for creating and writing the entire Othelo storyline.
