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.

Answer:

C. "A fierce shriek of the storm had been answered by a splitting crash over their heads…"

Explanation:

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

A fierce shriek of the storm had been answered by a splitting crash over their heads is written in passive voice because it has the appropriate form of the verb “to be” in past perfect: “had been,” followed by the past participle verb “answered.” This sentence puts emphasis on what happens rather than who or what is actually doing the main action, which in this case is “a splitting crash over their heads.”

Miep was a beautiful and young woman. She was the secretary of Mr Frank. She was asked by him to help their family in times of need.

As they could not go out and were hiding underground hence Miep had to shop for the entire family.

On the other hand, Van Daan's were loved by the Frank's in the beginning but later they showed childish behavior with hints of ego and impatience.

Why do you think that the playwrights of “The Diary of Anne Frank” decided to make this into a play?
zzz [600]
Answer to question 1:

i think the reason why the play writers of “The diary of Anne Frank” made the story of anne into a play to being the struggle she went through in the attic to life.

Reasoning: The story of Anne Frank should be told to being light to the trauma Jews faced in WW2

Answer to question 2: The story of Anne Frank is a hard story to tell and could get a lot of backlash if not created according to what happened in her diary. The challenges are also being able to act out some of the challenges the story had and to bring the story to light with out being to dash because the holocaust is still considered a very touchy topic.

i hope this helped :)

1. Summarize the story of “The Fight" in no more than two sentences.
Katen [24]

Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

"The fight" was written by Ruskin Bond and it is a story about two boys named Ranji and Suraj. Ranji recently came to town and found a pool that was located in the forest. He got into the pool and had a nice time.

He visited the pool the following day and got in it but then noticed that a boy was staring at him by the poolside. They began to talk and while Ranji was friendly to Suraj, Suraj wasn't friendly and this got Ranji angry and he earned that he was going to beat Suraj.

This led to a fight, they eventually got tired and said that they'll continue the fight following day. They got to the pool the next day, and Suraj challenged Ranji to swim across the pool. This challenge was completed by Ranji and it actually shocked Suraj and he told Ranju that he'll like to learn diving from him. Ranji agreed and they eventually became friends. Ranji also told Suraj to help him become a Pahlawan. They also agreed that no one else would be allowed into the pool without their permission.

The fight teaches us that we should live in love and harmony as fighting is bad.
