What Is Active Voice?

An author may write a sentence in one of two "voices"—active or passive.

The active voice emphasizes the performer (or agent) of the action:

Wind disperses plant seeds.

Smith et al. investigated the relationship.

We have analyzed the results.

The active voice is direct (performer–verb–receiver), vigorous, clear, and concise. The readerknows who is responsible for the action.

<span>
What Is Passive Voice?</span>

The passive voice, in contrast, emphasizes the receiver (or product) of the action:

Plant seeds are dispersed [by wind].

The relationship was investigated [by Smith et al].

The results have been analyzed [by us].

The passive voice is indirect (receiver–verb–performer) and can be weak, awkward, and wordy. Passive voice uses a form of the verb to be followed by a past participle (e.g., dispersed, investigated) and a by phrase. If the by phrase is omitted (the truncated passive), the reader will not directly know who or what performed the action.

A particularly awkward and ambiguous form of the passive voice occurs when an author uses itas the receiver rather than the first-person pronouns <span>I or we</span>:

It is concluded that the treatment is effective.

These types of passive-voice sentences are a form of hedging.

Why are descriptive passages usually slow-paced?
Ahat [919]

Answer:

Explanation:

In a movie, it takes time for the audience to really examine scenes and objects, so the pacing slows down and the camera moves more slowly. It takes even longer for areader to get a detailed description of a scene or object in written work because it takes longer to read words than to see a picture.

Flauer [41]

Answer:

At the end of the third act, the reader already knows that the Franks will be found and taken to the concentration camp. However, the characters are hoping they won't be found.

Explanation:

The end of the third act establishes a strong suspense because it presents the moment when the Frank family came very close to being found and taken to the concentration camps. As you know, the Frank family is a Jewish family, which was hidden during the second world war, fleeing the Nazi regime.

In this act, the suspense controls the Frank family, who know they are very close to being found, but they have hope and believe they can escape this situation. However, this piece is based on a real history and the reader knows that the Franks will be found and taken to concentration camps, where most will die.
