2. As explained in "Barrington Irving, Pilot and Educator," what inspired Irving

kupik [55]

Answer:

c. Sitting in the cockpit of a commercial airplane.

Explanation:

The National Geographic magazine article "Barrington Irving, Pilot and Educator" narrates how Barrington Irving became a pilot. Irving would become the first and youngest African American to be a pilot and fly solo around the world.

Irving had never thought of becoming a pilot at first. As he admitted, "I didn’t think I was smart enough", Irving never thought about his future in the aviation scene. He was just helping out his parents at their bookstore. It was there that a chance encounter, a chance question by "a Jamaican-born professional pilot" and the chance to sit at the cockpit of a commercial airplane that "hooked" Irving to flying.

Thus, the correct answer is option c.

Choose the sentence(s) that do(es) not use passive voice.

vladimir1956 [14]

What Is Active Voice?

An author may write a sentence in one of two "voices"—active or passive.

The active voice emphasizes the performer (or agent) of the action:

Wind disperses plant seeds.

Smith et al. investigated the relationship.

We have analyzed the results.

The active voice is direct (performer–verb–receiver), vigorous, clear, and concise. The readerknows who is responsible for the action.

What Is Passive Voice?

The passive voice, in contrast, emphasizes the receiver (or product) of the action:

Plant seeds are dispersed [by wind].

The relationship was investigated [by Smith et al].

The results have been analyzed [by us].

The passive voice is indirect (receiver–verb–performer) and can be weak, awkward, and wordy. Passive voice uses a form of the verb to be followed by a past participle (e.g., dispersed, investigated) and a by phrase. If the by phrase is omitted (the truncated passive), the reader will not directly know who or what performed the action.

A particularly awkward and ambiguous form of the passive voice occurs when an author uses itas the receiver rather than the first-person pronouns I or we:

It is concluded that the treatment is effective.

These types of passive-voice sentences are a form of hedging.

Accoring to martin luther komg why do we need nonviolent gadflies in society

earnstyle [38]

Martin Luther King, Jr. believes that we need gadflies because we need to bring to light issues that need to be resolved especially when it concerns the violation of people’s rights to be treated equally. Gadflies are those who make a lot of noise through their speeches and actions that draw people’s attention. Still Dr. King maintains that gadflies should use their talents to promote non-violent confrontations to resolves issues of social injustice. These are the people who speak their mind with such force that others listen even if they think it doesn’t concern them. More people gadflies attract, the more attention is given to the issues at hand. By doing that, it would spur government to do something about it.
