The correct answers are options B, C and D.

Marco Polo's cultural context are represented first in the quote about the malik of Homuz who had a castle. <em>Malik </em>means <em>king </em>in Arabic, and the Kingdom of Hormuz existed in the Persian Gulf between the 10th and 17th centuries.

Secondly, the cite about ships which made voyages in twenty days also refers to the cultural framework of Polo's time.

Finally, there is a reference to Saracen people, a term used to mention Muslims in the Middle Ages.

which one of the following sentences is written in the active voice? A. accidents are considered by most people as unavoidable.
Mumz [18]

<span>B. few people think seriously of doing something about accidents. </span>

<span>
</span>

There are two main things to keep in mind when trying to determine whether a sentence is written in the passive voice or if it is written in the active voice.  First, passive voice is when the subject has the action done to it, and active voice is when the subject does the action.  Second, passive voice will always have linking/helping verbs.  That said, answers, “A,” “C,” and “D” have the action being done to the subject, and all three have linking/helping verbs in the form of “are” and “be.”  “B” is the only answer where the subject (in this case, “people”) is doing the action of “think” and has not linking/helping verbs.

Answer:

Penguins are flightless birds, but they are expert swimmers. Strong breast muscles allow penguins to flap their wings and "fly" through water to catch fish and shrimps. A penguin's webbed feet are good for underwater steering because its legs are set far back on its body.
