Is this sentence active or passive. The custodian repaired the classroom door?

2 answers:

5 0

Both active and passive sentences have an action, but only active sentences show very specifically which particular person or thing is doing the action.

This sentence would be passive if it said "The classroom door was repaired," because then we wouldn't know WHO or WHAT repaired the door.

The sentence would also be passive if it said "The classroom door was repaired by the custodian." Such a sentence places unnecessary distance between the agent (the person doing the action) and the action itself. Why say the door was repaired by the custodian when you could simply say the custodian repaired the door?

So the sentence in your question is definitely an active sentence.

The Event: How Racist Are You? with Jane Elliott (Channel 4)

marshall27 [118]

Jane Elliott's experience is efficient in showing how degrading racism is and is carried out without valid reasons.

Based on this, we can answer the other questions as follows:

The experiment can identify how racism is active in society in direct and indirect ways.
The methods used in the experiment stimulate feelings of intimidation and humiliation, showing people how degrading racism is for those who suffer.
Racism can be alleviated with equality policies, punishment for people who promote racist behavior, and better education about issues and race.

<h3>What was Jane Elliott's experiment?</h3>

Elliott organized his experiment on a group of people with different eye colors. People with light eyes would be treated with disrespect and would spend hours standing in a line, without care, and in an uncomfortable environment. People with dark eyes, on the other hand, would be treated kindly, be seated in a comfortable place, and eat donuts while waiting to be served.

The blue-eyed people were being treated in a racist way and this showed how much racism is humiliating, intimidating, degrading, and depressing, as they felt very bad about the way they were treated, even though they suffered racism indirectly. These feelings were provoked to show how much racism is harmful and intensely hurts people.
