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!

Is it possible to have a society accepting of each other’s differences?
harina [27]

Answer: Not fully.

Explanation: Even in communist societies, where the concept is for everyone to have the same thing, there is tension between different groups for inherent traits. It depends on your definition of "differences". If there were a group of people who knew nothing of racism, sexism, or any other -ism, it still wouldn't be possible for a society to be entirely accepting of others' differences. For example, maybe someone doesn't like someone else because of the pitch of their voice or a certain personality trait. Those are differences that you may not accept. Other differences could be actions some view as unforgivable, such as theft. In conclusion, I don't believe it's possible to have a society that fully accepts one another's differences. It is possible to have one that gets along together well, or even claims to love each other in all ways, but there will always be conflict between person to person and person to self. It's just life.
