Answer:

Animals cannot acquire any of the four characteristics of language because of physical and mental limitations.

Explanation:

In order to call something a language, there are four characteristics, language has to be "symbolic, semantic, generative, and structured", symbolic means that it has to represent something else, since animals do not have the cognitive capacity to make sounds that represent something else, their sounds are not called language.

Explain why passive rather than active verb forms are used in certain types of text
Verdich [7]
ANSWER: Passive verb forms are used to shift the focus off the agent and onto the subject. 

There are two nouns in a basic sentence; a subject and an agent. The agent acts on the subject. Here, the subject is bolded and the agent is italicized. 
I ate <em>cereal. 

^ </em>That is an active sentence, because it focuses on the 'I'. Below are examples of passive sentences. 
<em>
</em><em>Cereal </em>was eaten by me. 
<em></em><em>Cereal </em>was eaten. 

^As you can see, sometimes passive sentences don't even contain a subject. This is particularly useful when you want to divert attention from the agent, such as when your sibling asks where the last bit of cereal went (Doesn't <em></em>'The cereal was eaten' sound less guilty than 'I ate the cereal'?)

Hope this helped!
