Question

what do you notice about the sentence structure in the following passage?...Pairs of dexterous hands laced up skates as quickly as possible while other hands aided in conversation that only the listener was allowed to hear. I was struck by the intimacy scene.they all knew each other well. they had come together in the freedom of this place to share and explore without the encumbrance of parents,teachers,or any other meddlesome adults.and what is the effect?

Answer 1

The words are used to show quick, straight actions, they are scattered about so that the reader has the impression that the scene is impactful as the excerpt "I was struck by the intimacy scene." shows. There is also the idea that only the ones engaged in the conversations are allowed to hear their content and finally, these people are free from their masters -- teachers, parents and any other adult that symbolizes authority.

Answer 2

I believe the answer to be 'Passive voice is used.'
