Answer:

B. When you don‘t know who Is responsible for the action

D. When you wasn’t to be vague about who is responsible for something

Explanation:

Using the process of elimination, you can cross out answers A, (when you want to use a less wordy sentence construction) and C, (when you want the person or thing to perform the action), because A and C describe active voice rather than passive voice.

Passive voice usually lengthens the sentence by adding more words to it, and is used when you want to focus more on the action than the person doing it, meaning you would write the action being performed <em>by</em> the person, not the other way around.

Passive voice is usually not encouraged in writing, except when...

  • when you don’t know who is responsible for the action
  • when you want to be vague about who is responsible for something
  • when you want to focus on the action rather than the person doing it

Using what we know, answers B and D both are times when passive voice would be used and/ or recommended.

Also I took the quiz and I got it right :)

What does Scout overhear Atticus and Aunt Alexandra talking in the living<br> room?
nataly862011 [7]

Hello. You forgot to report that this question was about "To Kill a Mockingbird". It is important that you always provide all the information necessary for your question to be answered, as you deserve.

Answer:

Scout overhears Atticus and Aunt Alexandra talking about whether Calpurnia needed to stay in the house.

Explanation:

Scout is a girl who although very young manages to understand very well the situations that happen around her. She lives with her brother, Jem; his father, Atticus; and a black maid named Calpurnia.

Calpurnia was primarily responsible for creating Scout (her mother died) and everyone in the family has a high regard for Calpurnia.

Meanwhile, Scout's family is visited by Aunt Alexandra, a very prejudiced woman who believes that Calpurnia should be fired and sent home, since she is black and, according to her thoughts, inferior and a bad influence.

One day Scout overhears his father and aunt Alexandra arguing in the living room. They are talking about whether it is necessary for Calpurnia to remain in the house, as Aunt Alexandra found it absurd that Calpurnia would take the children to a service in an African church, even with Atticus's permission.
