Explanation:

First let's look at the difference between active and passive voice:

"Active voice means that a sentence has a subject that acts upon its verb. Passive voice means that a subject is a recipient of a verb's action."

1) The coconut cream pie was gobbled down by the starving Scouts.

What's the subject? The coconut cream pie. What is it doing? Nothing. Its the scouts that are preforming the verb of the sentence. In order to find active voice, we must make that Scouts the subject of the sentence.

The starving scouts gobbled down the coconut cream pie.

2)The little village was drenched by a blinding downpour.

Let's try a different approach. What is the verb? Drenched. Now what is doing the drenching? The down pour. Whatever noun is preforming the verb will be the subject of an active voice sentence. So . . .

A blinding downpour drenched the little village.

In short, in active voice, the main subject must be doing the main verb

Answer:

I'm not going to give an explanation for all of these, but I encourage you to try some of these yourself using the methods introduced above i.e find the main verb and from there find what is doing the verb, or find the main subject and create the sentence around it so it's doing the action.

3) The angry city council slashed the budget.

4) The swarming fans toppled the football goal posts.

5) The silver moonbeams caressed the pale rose petals

6) The governor issued a stern warning to striking workers

(Note: Here, striking is not the verb of the sentence but an adjective to describe workers. Could also be a gerund, I'm not sure. Either way, it's not the main verb.)

7) The playful ponies pranced upon the field.

8) The stead beat of drums filled the air.

9) Through the fog and mist, the old light house sent a beacon of assurance.

(Note: Through the fog and mist is a prepositional phrase and could be put at the end of the sentence or the beginning)

10) Mrs. Hawkins told stories of hardship and suffering.

(Note: suffering is part of the preposition and thus is not the main verb)

What could be a good conclusion sentences about video games?? PLEASE HELP!!!!

Answer:

here ya go lad

Explanation:

Like many popular, entertaining, and addicting kid activities, video and computer games are looked down upon by many parents as time-wasters, and worse, and parents think that these games rot the brain. Also, the media and some experts are readily blamed for violent video games as the reason why some youth become violent or commit extreme anti-social behaviour. But many scientists and psychologists find that video games have many benefits – the main one being making kids smart. Video games may teach kids high-level thinking skills that they will need in the future.

A new study compiled by scientists at Yale University has found that video games are not harmful as long as those who play do not spend most of their time engaged in them. The Yale study says that the boys who played video games had better grades than those who did not, on average, and were less like to smoke cigarettes and engage in the consumption of banned substances like marijuana. Only 5 per cent of them had behaviour patterns like relieving tension only through gaming, having powerful urges to game that they cannot control, trying to limit time spent on video games, and failing. (Peart)

From the study, we can see that video games teach many skills to the developing child. Examples of these skills include problem-solving abilities, perseverance, pattern recognition, hypothesis testing, estimating skills, inductive reasoning, resource management, logistics, mapping, memory, quick thinking, and reasoned judgments (Sheff, 1994). Many of these skills are abstract and require higher-level thinking, which schools do not often teach children. By including a way to choose one's level of difficulty in most, if not all, video games, one can tailor the degree of intricacy of the game's tasks to meet one's skills. After the tasks are completed at a comfortable level, a child will feel motivated to attempt a higher degree of difficulty. By slowly ramping up the problem, the child can accomplish goals and learn while increasing their self-efficacy.

Sometimes the player does this almost every second of the game, giving the brain a real workout. According to researchers at the University of Rochester, Daphne Bavelier, a cognitive scientist, games simulating stressful events such as those found in battle or action games could be a training tool for real-world situations. The study suggests that playing action video games primes the brain to make quick decisions. Video games can be used to train soldiers and surgeons, according to the survey. (Benson)
