Passive voice is sentence construction because the subject is placed to the end of the sentence and thus acted on rather than acting. For example, the dog bit the boy in passive should be, the boy was bitten by the dog.
Passive voice is a useful tool in writing when the writer wants to emphasize that someone is receiving an action and not doing it. For example, Cyrus repaired the bus here bus is the object. In passive voice it should be the bus was repaired.

Franklin's autobiography writing style can be described as
vampirchik [111]

Answer:

plain and pragmatic

Explanation:

Franklin's writing style is plain and pragmatic, almost journalistic. When describing the events he includes in the Autobiography, he's direct about what happens to him and how he feels about it. If we were living in 1786, we'd probably understand him perfectly. Franklin's committed to involving readers in his text, almost like he's talking directly to us. For example, he opens his autobiography by saying:

"Now imagining it may be equally agreeable to you to know the Circumstances of my Life, many of which you are yet unacquainted with; and expecting a Week's uninterrupted Leisure in my present Country Retirement, I sit down to write them for you. "

Anyone down to write me a pear paragraph of king of shadows about the character Nat.
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer and Explanation:

Nat is a boy who was invited by a theater director to become a member of a theater group that presents Shakesperian plays. Nat accepts the invitation and ends up acting in "A Midsummer Night's Dream" and "Julio Cesar" where he proved to be a very talented and promising actor. However, one day, when he returned home, he felt extremely ill, feverish and sick. He ended up sleeping in his room and was transported through time, waking up in Elizabethan England. On this journey through time, he ends up meeting Shakespeare who is very surprised by his acting ability and invites him to be a member of his theater group. Nat lives very unique and fun moments in Elizabethan England, but in the blink of an eye he is transported back to the future, where he wakes up in a hospital bed, not sure if he really traveled in time, or just had a fever dream.

Nat is the main character of "King Of Shadows" that tells of his adventures as an actor of the Shakespeare Theater company, in the beginnings of the British theater.

Verizon [17]

Answer:

C.

Explanation:

The statement that depicts the author's purpose for writing the given text is in option C.

As it is stated that the given text is written for entertainment purposes, the line where the author says that he is telling us a story that is only half true supports this claim. The statement itself claims that the story is hal true which means there is some fictional dosage added into it, and when a writer adds fiction to his/her story the purpose of the text serves to be entertainment.

Therefore, option C is correct.
