The answer is “not discriminating.”

Here is an excerpt from the poem to explain how I arrived at that answer.

“She had
A heart—how shall I say?— too soon made glad,
Too easily impressed; she liked whate’er
She looked on, and her looks went everywhere.”

This excerpt is basically saying that the Duchess would look at everyone with happiness, and was very easy to please. This means that she did not discriminate against certain people. She “liked whatever she looked on.”

What is the authors main claim in the text ''someone might be watching'' by shelby ostergaard

blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

Dystopian fiction exaggerates existing problems in our reality to show readers what could happen if society continues down a certain path like taking its "quest for perfection too far".

Explanation:

In Shelby Ostergaard's informational text "Someone Might Be Watching- An Introduction to Dystopian Fiction", the author claims how dystopian worlds are not a faraway idea of humanity. Considering the wants and constant pressure of humanity to achieve further advancement and development might as well bring upon the fictional world of a dystopia that has been the work of only writers.

This possibility of attaining a dystopian world is not a far fetched idea. Though just a work of fiction, these presentations of a world where there is loss of liberty, individuality and misinformation are a much nearer reality of man's current situation. Aside from the present issues of scientific progress and even the dark side of any research on the scientific and health, man seems to want more better things, which is reasonable. Man's wants are impossible to be fulfilled, for they want something or the other even after gaining what they want in the first place. Likewise, the unwarranted wants of man for perfection may lead to the fictionalized worlds of dystopian society which we have, till now, seen only in the books. The writer ends the text with a warning about what or how "the world might look like if we take our quest for perfection too far", just as a fun-house mirror shows the 'unnoticed' flaws of a person.

Hello, please search for the poem, online bullying by Bill Kochman, and state 3 literary devices found in the literature writing

iren [92.7K]

Answer:

Some literary devices here are similes and metaphors. I'm sorry for only providing 2, if I can spot a third I will let you know. An example of a simile in the poem is "When harsh words cut like a knife". Comparison using terms such as "like" is a clear demonstration of a simile. An example of a metaphor in the text is "Hiding in the Internet's shadows". Notice how hiding in the shadows of the internet is not possible in a literal sense, but lacks the usage of terminology like "like" or "such as" "as a" that a simile would provide. Good luck!

Change Everybody forgets that to passive voice

Rus_ich [418]

KiAnswer:

The passive form of EVERYBODY FORGETS THAT

is

THAT IS FORGOTTEN BY EVERYBODY.

Explanation:

Active Voice -When an action is performed by the subject and is expressed by the verb, it is an active voice. The structure of active voice is - SUBJECT+VERB +OBJECT.

Example- He writes a letter.

Passive- A letter is written by him

Passive Voice - When the action expressed by the verb is received by the subject, it is passive voice.The structure of Passive Voice is - OBJECT+VERB+SUBJECT.

Example - Food is eaten by him

Active. - He eats food.

Rules--------

◼️Rule 1. Identify the (S+V+O) Subject, Verb and object in the active sentence to convert to passive voice

Example:

He drives car. (Subject – He, verb – Drives, object – Car)

◼️Rule 2. Interchange the object and subject with each other, i.e. object of the active sentence become the subject of the passive sentence.

Example :

Active voice : She knits sweater. (Subject – She, Verb – Knits, Object – Sweater)

Passive Voice : The sweater is knitted by her. (Object sweater is interchanged with the subject She).

◼️Rule 3. In passive voice sometimes the subject is not used, i.e. the subject in passive voice can be omitted if the sentence without it gives enough meaning.

Example :

Milk is sold in litres

◼️Rule 4. Change the base verb in the active sentence into the past participle ie. third form verb in a passive sentence i.e. preceded by (By, With, to, etc). Base verbs are never used in passive voice sentences.

Example:

Active voice: She prepares dinner.

Passive voice: The dinner is prepared by her

◼️Rule 5. While conversion of Active voice sentence to Passive voice sentence, the pronoun used in the sentence also changes in the following manner.

I will become Me

We will become Us

◼️Rule 6. Use the suitable helping or auxiliary verb (is/am/are/was, etc.). The rules for using auxiliary verbs in passive voice sentences are different for each tense.

Example:

The letter is written by her

A book was not bought by her
