Answer: C. It just thrills me that we have so much waste in landfills.

In this sentence, the author uses a sarcastic remark. Sarcasm refers to a sharp expression that usually shows an ambivalence similar to irony. Sarcasm is usually an ironic remark in which the speaker does not mean what he says. It is usually intended to mock or express contempt. In this case, the speaker is saying he is thrilled to have so much waste in landfills. This is likely to be false. Moreover, it is intended to criticize the problem of waste in our society.

Answer:

You will see a procession of game shows, formula comedies about totally unbelievable families, blood and thunder, mayhem, violence, sadism, murder, western bad men, western good men, private eyes, gangsters, more violence, and cartoons. And endlessly, commercials—many screaming, cajoling, and offending. And most of all, boredom. True, you'll see a few things you will enjoy. But they will be very, very few. And if you think I exaggerate, I only ask you to try it.

Identify the sentence using the active voice. A. The truck driver was given a ticket by the police officer. B. The truck driver
Serhud [2]

Answer:

C. The police officer gave a ticket to the truck driver.

Explanation:

The subject police is doing the verb - "gave" to the truck driver. And the use of "by" towards the end of the sentence is not valid in active voice. The subject-verb relationship changes in the passive voice. So, while the other three options (A, B and D) all put the subject "police officer" at the end of the sentence, that means it is already in the passive voice, added with the use of "by" in these sentences. So, the correct sentence that is in the active voice is option C.
