English
1 answer:
OLga [1]3 years ago

Answer:

A. The best sailors somehow sense a coming wind shift and react almost before it happens.

Explanation:

In grammar, the term <em>voice </em>refers to the relationship between the action expressed by the verb and the participants of the described event (the subject and object). In English, there are two types of voice:

  • Active voice - the subject acts upon the verb.
  • Passive voice - the subject is the recipient of the action expressed by the verb.

The sentence that uses only active voice is sentence A. The rest of the sentences contain both active and passive voices. I'll underline the parts with the passive voice below:

  • That blue sailboat is going to run aground if <u>the keel isn't pulled up soon</u>!
  • Waves were breaking over the railing, so<u> lifejackets were put on quickly.</u>
  • <u>The tiller was pulled hard to starboard</u>, but the strength of the breeze was too weak to move the boom.

Where should a pronoun be placed?
Ronch [10]
Depending on the sentence, a pronoun should be placed before or after the verb. In a statement, it will be before, such as in "I can buy a necklace." In a question, it will be after, such as in "Can I buy a necklace?" (which is after the helping verb but before the acting verb)
