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. :)

An argumentative essay ends with the conclusion
Contact [7]

Answer:

Collecting comic books is an affordable way to enjoy pop art and invest in memorabilia Which series will you start to collect?

Explanation:

If the conclusion shows that collecting comic books is a fun hobby, it should be revised with a sentence that shows the reasons that make this type of collection fun and attractive for people. In this case, the best review for the conclusion is the first option, since it is the only one that shows that collecting comics is a fun act because comics are an affordable way to consume pop culture, in addition to investing in memorabilia.
