The passive voice formed by Subject + verb to be+Past Participle. The object in the active voice becomes the subject of the passive voice and the subject of the active voice is either the object in the passive voice or is not mentioned.  

The passive voice is used when we don't know the performer of the action. Example: “The house was built in 1884” in this case we don't know who built the house.

The passive voice is used when the focus is on the receiver of the action. Example: “Five people were killed in a car accident”, in this case the focus is on “five people”

The passive voice is used when the focus is on the action. Example: “The car was stolen”, in this case the emphasis is on the fact that the car was stolen and not on who stole it.  

So the three options that apply to the uses of the passive voice are:

when the performer of the action is unknown  

when you want to emphasize the action directly  

when you want to emphasize the receiver of the action

What does 'horse of another color' mean?
Maksim231197 [3]
'Horse of another color' is the opposite expression from Shakespeare's 'a horse of that color' in the Twelfth Night Act 2 Scene 3 where Maria told Sir Toby Belch that her purpose was indeed a horse of that color which meant that Sir Toby Belch got the same idea as hers. So, 'horse of another color' is an idea different from the other.

How does the author use characters to make a statement about the value of human life in the world of F451? What does the author
Liula [17]

Incomplete question. However, I assumed you are referring to the story, "Fahrenheit" 451 by  Ray Bradbury.

<u>Explanation:</u>

For example, in the novel, the character Clarisse is portrayed as someone who appreciates nature, so much so that she finds time always to observe creation even though most people in her community are preoccupied with work and entertainment that they lack the time to do so.

Another character is Mildred, the wife of Montag, she is portrayed as someone who has a love for entertainment that is so strong to the extent it overshadows that of her husband. Her behavior contrast with that of Clarisse who has a healthy view of entertainment.

What the author, Montag is saying through his characters is that

  • those in his society do not value human life, recall we were told the police don't punish those who over speed, thus accidents occur often.
  • those in his society are less concerned about their families; which was made evident in the case of Mildred.
