Answer:
D. Thoreau regrets conforming to the expectations of others.
Explanation:
The figure of speech he is using is irony - he says that he <em>behaved so well </em>even though he considers that behavior to be bad. His neighbors, or rather the people around him, behave a certain way that Thoreau doesn't really approve of. However, in order to conform, or fit in with the rest of the society, he behaved in the same way they did, which made him disgusted and want to repent after having betrayed his ideals.
Answer:
<em>She has been chosen to sing in tonight’s concert.</em>
Explanation:
Active voice of tense is when the subject does the action which the verb stated. In most cases we use active voice.
I <em>made</em> a cake.
Passive voice is used when we want to emphasize the action, not the subject of the sentence or when we do not who the subject is. We build passive voice by adding a past participle of a certain verb to a form of auxiliary verb (depending on needed tense).
Cake <em>was made </em>(by me - not important).
Regarding all said above, in sentences 1, 3 and 4 is used active voice of a tense. Only in sentence 2 (She has been chosen to sing in tonight’s concert.), we can notice the passive voice, so that is the correct answer.
