We played all day, talked all night, and generally enjoyed one another's company. How would the above sentence, written in activ
e voice, best be translated into passive voice? a.We played and talked, and everyone had a good time.
b.Play was indulged, talk was engaged in, and a good time was had by all.
c.We play all day, talk all night, and generally enjoy one another's company.
d.We had played all day and talked all night; we generally enjoyed one another's company.
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.
I would Pick two. When poets show and explain the feeling of love Its mostly through words which speak from the strong emotions and experiences they had. Many types of love can be unexplainable through writing or seem kind of like a fairy tale. But each romantic poem differs from one another because its poets personal Emotions they share with another human being.

Step-by-step explanation:
This is because, the whole text is about the elevator and its development throughout the years. This paragraph explains the development of the elevator, its possible purpose, and the time frame in which it took place. This sentence seems to sum up the text better than the other options.
The reader knows that Mr. Pilkington is praising a flawed and brutal system.
Explanation:
Dramatic irony is when the audience or readers know something about the scene and would expect it to happen which the characters in the story or scene seem to have no idea. The speech and behavior of the characters will contradict the upcoming event, which the readers or viewers can predict but not by the characters in the story.

The song “Dance with the Devil” by Immortal Technique uses various literary and poetic devices to convey the reality and dangers of the gangster illusion. The primary devices utilized in the song include imagery, allusion, alliteration, and point of view.
Imagery is possibly the most powerful device used throughout “Dance with the Devil”. Immortal Technique uses imagery to captivate the dark, graphic, and realistic actions and consequences associated with those who attempt to follow the gangster images portrayed in the mainstream hip-hop media.
