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 :)

<span>The following answer is to question 7, which is seeking the to find which of four multiple choice answers are synonyms. Synonyms are words that have the same meaning that support other words. I believe the correct answer would be a.) Imaginary or Unconfirmed. I chose this answer because the two words, imaginary and unconfirmed are the same in meaning. If something is imaginary we cannot utilize our senses to recognize it, same as with something that is unconfirmed where there is no tangible proof that it exists because there is no evidence that can be provided to our senses proving it is not imaginary.</span>
