Answer: A.
singular; idiosyncrasy
Explanation: It is not B. because it is not an innumerable talent and there is not a surplus of this talent. It is not C. because it is not insular or an idiom. It is not D. because people are not disconcerted or shocked to the point where they do not know how to act and this talent is not plural. This leaves you with A. singular;idiosyncrasy because it is a talent that not many people have and it is an unusual thing about him.
Hope this helps! :)
Hm, are you sure you got the question right? Because all of the sentences are written in active voice! Active voice is essentially everything that is not in the passive voice, and I don't see any passive voice here.
Passive voice would be formed with subject+form of "to be" + past participle,
and we have no example of this. All of the sentences here are in active voice.
In my opinion, the correct answer is <span>B: "He asked himself where it had come from and how; the past provided no explanation, and the future could not justify it." This is the only instance when the main character tries to discover the source or roots of his happiness and infers that it hasn't resulted from any action from the past, nor from anything that might yet happen. The other options present this happiness as something that is almost a burden to him, and that's why they are examples of dark humor.</span>
There is only one sentence which needs a semicolon added to be correct, and that is <span>5) Water is not everywhere it's miles away.
As you can see, the way this sentence is written, something seems wrong - words are just mixed around incoherently. This is why we need a semicolon to make things more accurate: Water is not everywhere; it's miles away. </span>
The statement that best summarizes the central idea of the above excerpt is the statement in option C. The central idea of the passage given is that military officers always takes many safety precautions in the discharge of their duty. This can be clearly seen from this passage, for instance one could hardly know that these men are military officers because they were not putting on their uniforms, they also park their vehicles away from public glare when they got to their destination. These are necessary precautions that enhance the success of their jobs.
