Answer:

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

Explanation:

In grammar, the term voice 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 the keel isn't pulled up soon!
Waves were breaking over the railing, so lifejackets were put on quickly.
The tiller was pulled hard to starboard, but the strength of the breeze was too weak to move the boom.

In paragraph 11, What difficulty does Miller describe when he writes, “like trying to pick one’s teeth with a ball of wool: I la

stira [4]

Answer:

The difficulty faced by Miller while writing 'The Crucible' was that he lacked the quality to describe mildly the environment of witchcraft trial and relate it to the Communist trials.

Explanation:

'Why I Wrote The Crucible: An Artist's Answer to Politics' is an essay written by Arthur Miller. The essay was written with a purpose to bring to notice the reason why Miller penned down play 'The Crucible' in the face of Communists trials.

In paragraph 11, Miller states that during the time of Communist trials, many writers were becoming so imaginable like McCarthy and Miller that they presented the situation through their writings and plays.

When Miller states, that for him writing about witchcraft trials at the time of Communists trials was an act that lacks the tool. Miller states that he lacked the tool of presenting and relating both the trials mildly so that he may not present himself as a Communist party or non-Communist party.
