Answer:

a. short sentences  

Explanation:

Poe makes the impact of time passing rapidly by utilizing short sentences that accelerate the pace of the story.

Many things occur in this passage, however a lot of what happens is canvassed in single brief sentences.   For example:

<em>I walked the cellar from end to end.</em>

These eight words propose that the storyteller strolled forward and backward a few times. He would not have been remaining toward one side of the basement, in any case however would have strolled to one end, at that point turned and strolled to the opposite end, and, since there was nothing to keep him at that finish of the basement, he would have needed to turn and walk back at least as far as where he had originally been standing.

Lhamo said to pema ,"leave me alone " ( use command)​
UNO [17]

When we use the indirect or reported speech to rewrite the sentence, it becomes the following:

Lhamo commanded Pema to leave her alone.

<h3 /><h3>Reported speech</h3>

We use reported speech to tell others what someone said. The verb we use indicates the type of sentence that was said by that person.

For example, "state" and "command" indicate different types of sentences. "State" is used for affirmations, whereas "command" is used for orders.

In the sentence we rewrote above, we used "command" since Lhamo was ordering the other person to leave her alone.

Which sentence has a verb that is in the active voice?
UkoKoshka [18]

The active voice is when the subject performs the action of a verb, for example:

My father <u>works</u> in a Bank.

my father is the subject and does what the verb tells, <u>works</u>

The sentence that displays an active voice structure is:

George Washington Carver <u>painted</u> pictures while at Simpson College.

Subject + <u>verb</u>

What is the impact of Emma Watson sharing her own experiences with inequality?
Gnesinka [82]
Well, since she is famous, people seem to want to hear her opinion and what her interests are. Kind of like skinny jeans coming back into style. An artist, actor/actress, or some famous person started wearing them again and so did everyone else. Now that Emma Watson put in her experiences and opinion, it makes other subconsiously follow her likes and interests. Make sense?
