Journalist: Hi, I’m a journalist from The New York Times, my name is Anthony. Before I start this interview, I would like you to know that if any questions make you uncomfortable you don’t have to answer them.
Student: okay.
Journalist: So, how did it all begin?
Student: It was Wednesday, and school started like any other day, until the last period during which I was in the library with a few other students. We heard a gunshot in the corridor. We panicked immediately until we regained our teacher and hid under the desk.
We waited for a long 30 minutes before we heard another gunshot, then another, that’s when we realized that the shooter was coming nearer to the library.
Journalist: My god! What next?
Student: We decided to run to the back of the library where it was very dark, we figured he wouldn’t find us there.
Journalist: Smart move! What happened after?
Student: We crawled to the back and felt relatively safe for a while. The window was open and the sun was setting! We had been in school for nearly four hours!
Journalist: Wow.
Student: Only after it got dark the police burst into the library and helped us all to safety.
Journalist: Hopefully there were no casualties, but a teacher was injured.
Student: Yes.
Journalist: Thank you very much.
Student: You’re welcome. Please make it a good article, it could’ve been worse; we need security in our schools.
This isn’t much but I hope it helps! <3 good luck on your assignment!!

Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:
<u>The Nobel Prize in Literature was awarded to Naguib Mahfouz in 1988.</u> He was the first Arabic writer to win the prize. Mahfouz was born in Cairo, Egypt, and many of his novels are set in that city. Which revision puts the underlined sentence into the active voice? The 1988 Nobel Prize in Literature was awarded to Naguib Mahfouz. In 1988, the Nobel Prize in Literature was given to Naguib Mahfouz. Naguib Mahfouz won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1988. The Nobel Prize in Literature was won by Naguib Mahfouz in 1988.
Answer:
Naguib Mahfouz won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1988.
Explanation:
The underlined phrase features the passive voice. This type of voice causes the subject of the sentence to be receiving the action of the verb and not acting on the action of the verb. If we want to change that phrase to the active voice, we need to use the phrase "Naguib Mahfouz won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1988." The active voice allows the subject to practice the action of the verb and who is actually acting according to the verb.
