Answer:

- Developers are building many new apartment houses in my neighborhood.

- We changed our plans abruptly when we received her message.

- They served the turkey after the soup.

Explanation:

Active Voice is characterized as the grammatical construction in which the subject itself undertakes/performs the action while in passive the object and the verb lead the sentence and the subject turns to be the recipient of the action. In the active voice, the emphasis is on the subject while in the passive voice the emphasis shifts to the object and the action.

As per the question, the given sentences are converted from passive to active which has helped in making it more precise by removing the words like 'by,' 'being,' 'was,' 'were,' etc. Since the sentences are framed in present(are being built) and past indefinite(were changed, was served), the active voices are framed in the same tense.

Elodia [21]

Perspectives are not referring to the art of drawing solid objects in this poem.

We can arrive at this answer because:

  • In the poem "Elliptical," the author is criticizing something related to society and people's behavior towards each other.
  • The poem does not have any reference to objects, drawings, or physical elements, but to humanity and how individuals relate.

In this case, when the author says <em>“Of course their perspectives have been limited…,”</em> she is referring to perspectives on the future, that is, she was talking about how people had little hope about the future and it impacted their behavior.
