Answer:
Explanation- Some of the writer's strategies include alliteration (a string of words with the same initial sound), similes, metaphors/analogies, sensory details (vividly describe sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch to engage the reader's senses).
Looks like a dry conversation. But! The defunct mantelpiece clock symbolically represents Gatsby's delusional perception of time and his desire to prevent time from moving forward. Although it has been five years since the last time he saw Daisy, Gatsby genuinely believes that he can ignore the present and return to the moment he met Daisy in Louisville. ^w^

Answer:
The following excerpt from Great Astronomers shows that Ptolemy’s theory was flawed, but that he was still the undisputed authority on astronomy for centuries.
Explanation:
\“Though every child may now know more of the actual truths of the celestial motions than ever Ptolemy knew, yet the fact that his work exercised such an astonishing effect on the human intellect for some sixty generations, shows that it must have been an extraordinary production. We must look into the career of this wonderful man to discover wherein lay the secret of that marvelous success which made him the unchallenged instructor of the human race for such a protracted period.”
Claudius Ptolemy who lived in Rome in some 100 AD gave a model of the solar system. According to his model, Earth was the center of the solar system and all the other plants and the Sun revolves around it. His model can accurately describe the motions of the heavenly bodies. This was his major contribution to the field of Astronomy.
Though his theory became invalid after the correct discovery about the solar system was made, but Ptolemy is still one of the most known astronomers for centuries. The above excerpt explains that in present times even a child can be more accurate to tell about the motions of the celestial bodies still he’ll be known forever.
Is it you who asks over and over again how to change an active sentence into the passive? I must have seen some 20 such questions.
If so, you really need to learn the difference between a subject and an object, so you stop asking basically the same question again and again.
An active sentence has a subject (person doing something), a verb (what the person does) and either a direct object (the thing that takes the action) or an indirect object (the person receiving the thing that takes the action.
Mary (subject) throws (verb) the ball (direct object) to me (indirect object).
Mary throws me the ball. (Same thing, but in a different word order).
The passive voice simply uses the object (ball) as the subject of the new sentence and the verb is then changed to a past participle* and attached to some firm of “to be”. The original subject can be removed, or added as an afterthought,
So, the ball IS THROWN. The ball IS BEING THROWN. or The ball WAS THROWN — are all passive sentences. You can add Mary at the end with “by Mary”.
Nothing changes if you make it a question.
Is Mary throwing the ball? Passive: Is the ball being thrown (by Mary)?
(Look up the meaning of past participle if you need to).
So now, figure out your own sentence and please stop using Quora over and over again for the same grammar question.
