16. Rita Dove describes her poem as: “How to find words for the human heart and all the emotions we ascribe to it? The path is a

Answer:

This is either a simile or a metaphor

Explanation:

I say this because, she is comparing the path to clichés and a metaphor is comparing 2 things using like or as and a simile is comparing 2 things WITHOUT using like or as. Hope this helps <3   -A middle schooler

Why are benvolio and mercutio worried about romeo ?
Stolb23 [73]
Well think about it, Benvolio and Mercutio are Romeo's best friends. They are worried about him, because firstly he is in love with Rosaline - this love in unrequited. This makes Romeo very depressed for a long period of time. So, of course they are worried about him. Also, after Capulet's party, Romeo mysteriously disappears, which leaves both Mercutio and Benvolio worried for him. As well as the fact that Tybalt discovered that Romeo had gatecrashed the party and now is looking for vengeance. Hope this helped.

24. The conference building was badly damaged by the fire.

25. The crash damaged several vehicles.

Explanation:

Basically, when transforming an active sentence into passive voice there are few rules to be remembered.

1. The object of the active sentence becomes the subject of the passive sentence.

2. The verb "to be" is used in the tense of the active sentence.

3. The verb of the active sentence is used in its past participle form and it, with the correct form of the verb "to be", forms the verb of the passive sentence.

Backtracing these steps we can easily convert a passive sentence into its active voice.
