Answer:
2. Thea wanted to visit Greece, so she bought a plane ticket.
3. Jeff felt bored, so he read an interesting science fiction novel.
Explanation:
Both sentences use their verbs in the active voice: <em>wanted, bought</em> (in the second sentence) and <em>felt, read</em> (in the third one). So these two sentences maintain the verb voice.
The first and the last sentences shift from the active voice to the passive voice: <em>craved, was baked</em> (first sentence) and <em>loved, was practiced</em> (last sentence).

Answer:
The storm is being personified in lines 16-17 of The Tempest.
Explanation:
Personification means giving human traits to an inanimate object. Personification is a literary device used by many authors to add depth and interest to their writing.
In lines 16-17 of The Tempest: "You are a councilor.
If you can command these elements to silence and work the peace of the present,
we will not hand a rope more"
The elements in question refer to the storm, which was given a human trait with the sentence 'if you can command these elements to silence...'.
You can command or silence a person, but you can't do that to a storm.
So, the statement personified the storm (elements) with the human trait of being commanded and silence.
