Passive voice is used in a clause whose subject is unknown , unimportant , common , or obvious. In passive voice object will replace the subject and subject will be removed.

Active voice is used in a clause or a sentence whose subject expresses the main verb's agent. The subject and the object of the sentence come in it's order in active voice .

Example : People speak spanish in spain => active voice , people is the subject.

Spanish is spoken in spain => passive voice , ( the subject is obvious to us )

The pic above :

number 1 : As you see in that sentence the subject of the sentence (we) has came directly in the sentence so this is an action voice .

number 2 : But in this one when you read the sentence , you immediately ask yourself "who ?" so the subject is unknown therefore this is an passive voice .

I hope it helped.

il63 [147K]

Answer: Both men use their past experiences to show readers that they persevered and became accomplished readers and writers.

Explanation:

The first passage is from <em>"Thoughts and Sentiments on the Evil of Slavery " </em>(1791), a book written by Ottobah Cugoano. The author describes his experience of being taken as a child and sold into slavery.

In the first excerpt, Cugoano describes that, when he saw people who read and write in England, he wished to learn to do it himself. Once he learned to read and write, the author continued to educate himself.

In the second excerpt, from <em>"Letters of the late Ignatius Sancho, an African", </em>written by Ignatius Sancho who was born as a slave, the author describes his experience of serving in a family where they judged ignorance. However, when he was placed in a better family, he began to enjoy reading.  

It is evident that both authors never gave up reading, and thus became quite successful as writers as well.
