Help please Which of the following sentences uses the active voice?

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.

What is a parable?
Mkey [24]

The answer is option B "A short story set firmly in reality told to illustrate a moral or religious lesson." Parables are made strictly for religious or moral lessons for example bible stories for children or any other religious principle made to tell their beliefs to another person. Short stories are also good examples of parables because they have a moral that they want the reader to take to heart and learn.

Hope this helps.

Regan likens the transitioning process to a butterfly's metamorphosis. How else is Luna like a butterfly? Does this metaphor wor
Degger [83]

Luna shows herself as a butterfly because she needs to free herself from the "cocoons" that hold her. This metaphor extends throughout the book, as it takes her to muster up the courage to open these cocoons throughout the story.

<h3>What are the cocoons that hold Luna?</h3>
  • The family.
  • The society.
  • The insecurity.
  • The fear.
  • The lack of courage.

Luna is a transgender girl who is still finalizing her transition to the female gender. This transition is what allows her to be compared to a butterfly, through metaphors that show that in addition to transition, she must break her cocoons, that is, leave behind everything that prevents her from being free.
