______________
From the answer choices given, the term: "shot heard round the world" is the only choice that fits this definition.
Could a single "shot" really be heard: "round the world" ??
However, there could have been widespread consequences of a shot (even a single shot); or even worldwide consequences.

It certainly could be heard "round the field"; thus eliminating answer choice "D".

Answer: <span>A. The hungry housecat killed the small, grey mouse last Tuesday and left it on the doorstep.</span>
<span>With active voice the subject, in this case the housecat is doing the action. So with this sentence, the cat killed the mouse and then left it on the doorstep.</span>
<span>Passive voice sentences usually use the word was like in three of the four examples you gave. </span>
<span>In example B the following wording was used: was left, was killed (that is passive voice).</span>
<span>Example C: was left</span>
<span>Example D: was killed</span>
<span>While example C and D start off using active voice (the hungry housecat killed) it finishes using passive voice. The tenses should remain the same throughout the sentence. </span>
<span>Hopefully this helped and good luck</span>

Answer:
The phrase which best describes the context of a speech is:
C. the energy in the auditorium.
Explanation:
The other options refer more to the speech itself than to the context in which it is given. However, the energy in the auditorium or, in other words, the audience's attitude is deeply connected to the speech's context. No matter how much the speaker has prepared - how he has chosen to phrase his ideas, how he divided the speech into sections, which facts he has chosen to present -, the way the audience behaves and reacts to the speech, or even the audience's attitude before the speech starts - are they restless? hungry? relaxed? - all have the ability the impact the speech and how successful it is.
