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.

How is Lady Macbeth strength shown in act1,scene5?

tino4ka555 [31]

In act 1 scene 5, Shakespeare presents Lady Macbeth as a powerful woman who feels trapped within society`s view of a female. In Shakespearian times, there were associated male and female traits with male traits associated with strength, aggression, and rationality. Female traits, on the other hand, were associated with beauty, tender thoughts, and sensitivity. Being a female herself, Lady Macbeth commands the ‘sprits’ to ‘unsex [her] here,’ so she can rid herself of her female traits so she can be more male and thus powerful enough to commit evil.
