Answer:

The lecture about the Vietnam War was given by veterans.

Explanation:

Among the options given, the only one in the Passive Voice is "The lecture about the Vietnam War was given by veterans."

In the Passive Voice, the focus of the sentence is on the action itself, not on who or what performed the action. Thus, the subject of the sentence is not the person, thing, or animal etc. who actually carried out the action. That would be the agent. The structure is:

subject + auxiliary verb (if necessary) + verb be + main verb in the past participle + agent (if necessary).

So:

The lecture about the Vietnam War - subject

was - verb be

given - main verb in the past participle

by veterans - agent

Read the excerpt from Poe’s "The Fall of the House of Usher."
Fudgin [204]

The excerpt provides information about the narration because of the use of the pronoun 'I'.

The First person narrator tells a story from the first person point of view, by using the pronoun 'I'. This narrator is a character involved in the action and participates in the events of the story in some way. It can be a main character in the story or even an observer. Therefore, the information a reader gets from the story in a First person narration is limited to the things the narrator experiences, knows, thinks, or chooses to tell the reader.

Moreover, in the excerpt when it says:

-<em>but with a shudder even more thrilling than before- </em>

The narrator is expressing his own feelings, describing what he or she felt and how it happened. The narrator could not do the same with other characters, because he or she could not feel what another person felt.
