Active voice is when a sentence is written so that the subject is performing the action, as opposed to the verb acting upon the subject, as in passive voice. Since the sentences are already in passive voice, they could be rewritten in active voice as:

1) In my neighborhood, developers are building many new apartment houses.

2) Our plans were changed abruptly when we recieved her message.

3) After the soup was served, they served the turkey.

In passive voice, the verb generally comes before the noun it relates to, whereas in active voice, the noun comes before the verb it relates to.
Ex. I pet the dog (active) vs. The dog was pet by me (passive)

I hope I could help!

1. Which sentence expresses a primary theme developed in the passage?

horsena [70]

Answer: C. a relationship needs more than routine.

Explanation:

This question relates to short story, The Egyptian Tomb by Beatriz Espejo. In it we see a mother and daughter who have a routine Tuesday custom of going out to eat.

Inferences made in the passage show that both women are not particularly happy with the way this meeting keeps going as it feels like a mere routine that they abide by each time. This shows that for a relationship to truly be intimate or to have meaning, it needs to be more than just a routine that people get bored of and always look forward to an end of.
