English

Answer:

The teeter-totter was shared by the boys.

Explanation:

Passive voice is when the object of the sentence becomes the subject of the sentence. The subject of the sentence then receives the action instead of doing it. Passive voice always includes a form of the verb 'to be' and a particle of the main verb. In the case of the last sentence, the teeter-totter is the object/subject. "Was" is the past tense form of the verb "to be." Shared is the past particle of the verb "share."

So basically, the breakdown is like this:

The teeter-totter  +   was       +   shared by   +  the boys.

       object          past tense    past particle      subject

                            of the verb    of the verb

                               'to be'             'share'

All the other sentences are in active voice as the subject is doing the action. "Lilly took", "Little boy arrived", "The boy started playing" all have the subject in front of the verb.  

Hope this helps. :)

The Belgians like to eat their portions in a very big size and the food must be from a very good quality. They would rather eat traditional food than any other cuisine. Most of the time your plate will consist out of vegetables, bread, a small portion of meat and a dash off sauces. Belgium is also well known for their delicious chocolates, their sugar coated waffles and their lovely beer. Famous food festivals include the Potato day and the Chocolate Festival as well as some Beer fests.

Belgium has a food pyramid very similar to that of the United States’. But the United States has six categories while Belgium has eight. The United States categories are as followed from least to greatest: oils, meat and beans, fruit, vegetables, milk, and grains. Belgium’s food pyramid, as seen to the left, recommends at the top of the pyramid that “occasionals,” foods one should only snack on every once in a while. Below the top are the foods that should be a part of the daily diet, including: fatty substances, meat, dairy products, fruit, vegetables, breads, and a large level of water and other liquids. Both countries’ food pyramids also include exercise. In the United States’ food pyramid, a figure is seen walking up the side of the pyramid. In Belgium’s diagram, there is a smaller pyramid in the lower left-hand corner that shows a number of figures exercising (“Food-Based 14). Despite issues with water quality of rivers and ports, Belgium’s tap water conforms to the European Union’s standards and is safe to drink (“Can I” 1). Belgium is ranked 36th country by the CIA World Factbook in terms of life expectancy at birth. Women are projected to live to 83.22 years old; Men are expected to live to 76.76 years. As an entire population, the Belgians live to an average of 79.92 years. The United States is ranked not too far behind at 42nd. Americans live to around 79.56 years. American women don’t live as long as Belgian women at only 81.94  years.
