Revise this paragraph from the essay on voter identification, which focuses on one of the claim's supporting reasons. As you rev

ise the paragraph, focus on:
making sure the point of the paragraph is precise and related to the overall claim in the essay,

using words, phrases, and clauses to link major ideas in the paragraph,

organizing ideas in a logical way,

stating and addressing a counterclaim,

maintaining a formal style and objective tone, and

correcting MLA citation errors.

Underline any portions of the original paragraph that you include in your version of the paragraph. (30 points).
Paragraph to be revised:

Essay claim: Laws requiring people to show photo identification in order to vote decrease voter participation.

Lots of people don't have photo identification. Requiring people to show photo identification to vote would keep those without this type of identification from voting. Those who often don't have identification include elderly individuals who no longer drive and citizens living in high poverty areas where transportation is limited. They would be denied the chance to vote. Sociologist Mark Abernathy writes, "requiring photo identification in order to vote essentially eliminates a whole population of American voters. These voters are part of society, but they are denied a basic right guaranteed to all Americans over the age of eighteen. Elections are then determined by only a portion of the population, not the entire population" (page 820 of the article "Photo Identification Disenfranchisement"). Some people think this is just not true. Ria Olberson, an economist at Alabaster University, states, "few Americans are without drivers' licenses. Even if the license is expired or revoked, it still counts as photo identification. To claim that requiring identification disenfranchises a segment of the American population is simply inaccurate" (page 101). Olberson is just wrong! A lot of people don't have licenses because they either don't need them or they don't want them. Consider people living in major cities. They have no reason to get driver's licenses: public transportation. This extremely large group of people would be forced to obtain driver's licenses to participate in a process that they are guaranteed as citizens of the United States

Which one of the following statements about making your writing fun to read is correct?
Liono4ka [1.6K]
D. The conversation you write must sound natural for the characters.
More natural conversations between characters make your writing more fun to read. Reading a dialogue that sounds like it could actually happen engages the reader, and creates an investment in the characters themselves. Think of it this way, would you rather watch a movie with good acting or bad acting?

7). All the cookies had already been eaten by them when I arrived.

8). The factory was opened by us at nine o'clock.

9). The documents are kept in this drawer.

10). We were told by a man to wait outside.

Explanation:

Passive voice is described as the grammatical construction in which the object and the action stated by the verb are emphasized rather than the subject. The subject in such construction becomes the recipient of the action and is acted upon(by the verb). It helps in showing interest in the noun(in object place) which undergoes the action instead of the doer(subject) who performs it.

In order to convert the given sentences from the active voice to the passive voice, the object will be substituted with the subject in order to shift the emphasis. Since the subject is the recipient of the action, it can be omitted or written using 'by' as mentioned above.
