Dear Johnny, ( or friends name )
2020 surely wasn’t the best school year for me. I went through tons of hardships. Im only praying that 2021 is a much better school year. I have some pretty interesting new things in my school that took place in 2020. Such as more language classes, students are now opened to taking a Chinese class, and two other classes woodshop. I ended up enrolling in the cooking class, I learned how to make spaghetti, cakes, cupcakes. I can’t wait! Till you can try my new skills out on a plate.
A. it should capture the reader's attention and state the main idea.
Option b is the purpose of the body paragraphs, option d is the purpose of the conclusion, and it cannot be option c because there should be no transitioning between concepts in the introduction of a paper :)
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.
The answer to this question is both
