To answer this question, we first have to be clear about what the passive voice is.

In the active voice, the subject is also the one who does the action. For example: I kicked the ball. In this sentence, the subject is "I." The subject is performing the action of kicking. 

In the passive voice, however, the subject is not the doer. Instead, the subject of the sentence is acted upon. Consider this example: The ball was kicked by me. The subject is "the ball." Of course, the ball is not doing the kicking. Rather, the ball is being acted upon -- it is being kicked BY someone.

A major clue that the passive voice is being used is the presence of a being verb. A being verb is any form of the verb "to be" -- am, is, are, was, were, be, being, or been.

Now, in the above examples, only option B. appears to have a being verb. However, let's double check.

In the other options, the pronoun "We" is the subject, and "we" are the ones playing, talking, and enjoying. That means answers A, C, and D. are all rewritten in the active voice.

In option B, "Play," "talk" and "a good time" are the subjects of the sentence. Of course, these things can do nothing on their own. This sentence also has being verbs present (the verb "was"), meaning this sentence is written in the passive voice.

For this reason, option B. is the correct answer.

How do authors present and develop characters? Check all that apply.
Zina [86]

Answer:

The way characters are described

The situations in which the characters interact

Dialogue between characters

Conflicts within and between characters

Explanation:

Characters are first developed by how they are described. They are not going to throw a character with no description into a book. They will say, a skinny, lanky kid named George was frighted by the dark. This character is fearful of the dark and he may not be that strong for a skinny, lanky kid. Situations where they interact are important because of how they react and respond to another person. For example, Samantha liked Steven so she acted shyly, but confident around him. When she interacts with Steven, it shows that she is not scared or choked up, but confident and shy with him. Dialogue is important because of what they say and how they say it. For example, I asked Duke a question and he snarled at me, "figure it out yourself." This shows that Duke is not the best to talk to at the moment, so he must be easily agitated. Conflicts are important because it shows how they were before, during, and how they became after. It shows the before and after of their character, for example, George was afraid of the dark, but then as he got a flashlight, he was able to use it if he thought something was there. After using it numerous times, he realized nothing was there and he did not need it anymore. You him when he was scared, helped with, and then not scared.

rusak2 [61]

 Both W. H. Auden and William Carlos Williams wrote ekphrastic poems about Pieter Brueghel's Landscape with the Fall of Icarus. Both poems point out that Icarus’s drowning is ignored or goes unnoticed. Williams's poem uses short groups of three lines and an objective tone. Auden's poem uses longer lines and more description, and it refers to ideas and images outside of the painting. Williams provides a matter-of-fact account of what happens in the painting, while Auden connects the painting to the overall idea of suffering.
