The participial phrase in this example is D - stored in the damp basement, as it is both a phrase (doesn't have a verb used with a certain person - stored is participle here, used as an adjective, not a verb) and it has this participle. In the previous options, A - we found - this is not a phrase, here verb is used as a verb, and thus it is a sentence, not a phrase. B - many of the old books - this is a noun phrase, it is about books. C - mold and mildew is an adjectival phrase. And thus, the only plausible answer here is D.

which one of the following sentences is written in the active voice? A. accidents are considered by most people as unavoidable.
Mumz [18]

<span>B. few people think seriously of doing something about accidents. </span>

<span>
</span>

There are two main things to keep in mind when trying to determine whether a sentence is written in the passive voice or if it is written in the active voice.  First, passive voice is when the subject has the action done to it, and active voice is when the subject does the action.  Second, passive voice will always have linking/helping verbs.  That said, answers, “A,” “C,” and “D” have the action being done to the subject, and all three have linking/helping verbs in the form of “are” and “be.”  “B” is the only answer where the subject (in this case, “people”) is doing the action of “think” and has not linking/helping verbs.

The document then goes on to list a series of charges that denounce British rule of the American colonies. In the context of the
mylen [45]

The target audience—the remainder of the world's nations—is referred to by the phrase "candid world" by the author.

<h3>Why British rule of American colonies?</h3>

Although each colony had its own government, the British king maintained power over them. Many colonists were irate by the 1770s because they lacked self-government. This implied that they were unable to rule themselves and establish their own rules. The king demanded that they pay enormous taxes.

The word "candid" in this context denotes honesty or sincerity. In order for the audience to understand the reasoning behind the list of arguments given in the paper, the author used the word candid to make an appeal to their morals or honesty. The author may have anticipated the audience's honest and true response by characterizing them as such.
