Yes, although I would have added her goal in doing that in the sentence. For example: She bribed her husband’s doctor into the subterfuge of giving him medicine that was actually poison; so that she could get all of his money.

The public shall be notified by the bureau of a proposed action (in active voice)
miskamm [114]

Answer:

  • <u><em>The bureau shall notify the public of a proposed action.</em></u>

Explanation:

The original sentence is in passive voice: the public is not performing the action but receiving it. The passive voice uses the verb 'to be' + the past participle of the main verb: "shall be" + "notified".

The focus of a passive voice sentence is on the object and not on the subject: the public is the object; they will receive the act of the subject which is the bureau.

To change the passive voice to <em>active voice</em>, place the person who performs the action in the first part and change the tense of the verb to active form.

The subject that performs the action is the bureau.  Thus, the active voice is:

  • <u>The bureau shall notify the public of a proposed action.</u>

<u></u>

Now, the focus of the sentence is on who performed the action; thus, this is the <em>active voice</em>.

Locate the infinitive. Since it is used as a noun, determine its noun use. He likes to be chief. Infinitive: Use:
Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

Your answer would be "to be chief".

Explanation:

"To be chief" is an infinitive clause which functions as the direct object of the transitive verb <em>likes. </em>An infinitive is a verbal consisting of the particle <em>to </em>plus a verb. In this case, the transitive verb <em>to like</em> selects two arguments: the NP <em>he </em>and the infinitive clause <em>to be chief.  </em>In this way, it is possible to say that the inifinitive clause functions as an noun phrase. NPs usually occupy the direct object position.

Answer:

In the War of 1812, the United States took on the greatest naval power in the world, Great Britain, in a conflict that would have an immense impact on the young country’s future. Causes of the war included British attempts to restrict U.S. trade, the Royal Navy’s impressment of American seamen and America’s desire to expand its territory. The United States suffered many costly defeats at the hands of British, Canadian and Native American troops over the course of the War of 1812, including the capture and burning of the nation’s capital, Washington, D.C., in August 1814. Nonetheless, American troops were able to repulse British invasions in New York, Baltimore and New Orleans, boosting national confidence and fostering a new spirit of patriotism. The ratification of the Treaty of Ghent on February 17, 1815, ended the war but left many of the most contentious questions unresolved. Nonetheless, many in the United States celebrated the War of 1812 as a “second war of independence,” beginning an era of partisan agreement and national pride.

Explanation: Hope this helps :)
