Depends on the scenario. Asked can either be an active or passive verb yet it depends on the situation. Active verb is when a subject is performing the action, which is then referred to as a Active voice. However, if the action is receiving the subject it is a passive verb.
Example;
He was asked to complete his homework (Passive Voice)
I asked him to complete his homework (Active Voice)
<h3>
Answer: A) Personification</h3>
Explanation:
The winter weather isn't a person, but the author is making it seem like the cold wind is from Jack Frost's breath. So the author is making the wind or just cold weather in general seem like a person of sorts, or part of a person's traits. Personification is the act of turning any inanimate object or non-human thing to have human traits. Hence the "person" in "personification".
Other examples of personification are sentences like:
- The tree danced in the wind
- The river swallowed more ground as the water rose more rapidly
- Time flies when you're having fun
- The ocean lashed angrily at the beach.
I'm sure you can probably come up with more creative examples or look them up elsewhere to get a better grasp on how personification works.
<em><u>Answer:</u></em>
- The American government to the British government.
Married life for Rip was tough, but now he is free of the tyranny of his wife. He doesn't care much about the political matters.
Answer:
Hale tells Elizabeth that LIFE is God's most precious gift and nothing is worth throwing your life away. He says it may be that a liar less than someone who gives up his life. She wants it to be his decision only. Elizabeth can't risk choosing for him if her choice is something he won't truly be able to live with forever. John feels that "his honesty is broke" because of his affair with Abigail, and therefore he is a sinner.
"Nothing is spoiled by giving them this lie that were not rotten long before" means John has already sinned, so he might as well keep sinning since he considers himself already ### and going to # down there . John clearly wants Elizabeth's opinion as to whether or not he should lie/confess. She doesn't tell him what to do because she wants John to make his own decision. It is HIS life and he has to live with his decision. John also wants her forgiveness, and she tells him that he needs to forgive himself. She does take on some of the blame, though
Throughout their conversation, it is clear that John wants what from Elizabeth? Why doesn't she give it to him?

It is HIS life and he has to live with his decision. John also wants her forgiveness, and she tells him that he needs to forgive himself. She does take on some of the blame, though. She feels that her cold behavior prompted John to have an affair. She admits to keeping a cold house, not knowing how to "show" (express) her love, and counting (considering) herself so plain that no good love could come to her. (Because of her low self-esteem, it was hard for her to let him love her.)
He wants to live and be with his family.
