Answer:

The context clues which would be the most helpful in determining the meaning of asunder are: tore and pieces.

Explanation:

Asunder is an archaic adverb, which means we do not use it much nowadays. It means apart, divided, or into pieces. Supposing we did not know that definition, we could easily guess the meaning of asunder by finding context clues in the sentence where it appears. <u>In this case, there are two words that can easily help us understand what asunder means: tore and pieces. Tore, the past form of the verb tear, means to rip something apart. And pieces, of course, mean a portion, chunk, or segment of something. If Adam tore something asunder and then threw the pieces, we can safely guess asunder has something to do with making those pieces, breaking or ripping something.</u>

Sveta_85 [38]


Answer: <span>A. The hungry housecat killed the small, grey mouse last Tuesday and left it on the doorstep.</span>

<span>With active voice the subject, in this case the housecat is doing the action. So with this sentence, the cat killed the mouse and then left it on the doorstep.</span>

<span>Passive voice sentences usually use the word was like in three of the four examples you gave. </span>

<span>In example  B the following wording was used: was left, was killed (that is passive voice).</span>

<span>Example C: was left</span>

<span>Example D: was killed</span>

<span>While example C and D start off using active voice (the hungry housecat killed) it finishes using passive voice. The tenses should remain the same throughout the sentence. </span>

<span>Hopefully this helped and good luck</span>
