Actually, yes, this is true. Let's look at some examples with the word "all" to see if it agrees with verbs in singular or in plural:
All is lost
All is well
All is arranged already.
All of it is nice
This shows us that "all" agrees with verbs in singular form: the correct answer is a) True.
Humanity's early fire-starting tools may have been dangerous because in the text is says,<span> "It could be lighted only by hard rubbing, and it sputtered and threw fire in all directions." This is dangerous because it would spew fire in all directions and if you think about it, the fire would hit something and then that thing would catch on fire. Lets say you were using the match inside your house. When you strike the match, a spark flies onto the wood floor and your house goes up in flames and you are stuck inside the house with no exit or escape. This may or may not happen, but because of the fire not being contained, there was a chance that you would be harmed.</span>

Explanation:
Indirect speech is described as a form of speech that is used to express the content of a declaration or any other thing that another has said using discrete words. It helps in conveying the same message using distinct words and often a change in tense(except for the universal truth as given in 'b' part of the first question('it rains in July')).
Active Voice is the form of grammatical construction in which the subject itself performs the action and leads the sentence while in passive voice, the sentence is led by the object and action of the verb. In the active voice, the subject is the primary emphasis of the sentence while in the passive voice, the subject receives the action. But the passive of an 'intransitive' verb cannot be formed because it does not have an object.
I would probably say first person because you use the word you and you are you is usually used in first person
Answer: Dulce et Decorum Est is by Wilfred Owen and is historical fiction. The title is significant as Dulce et Decorum Est (followed by pro patria mori) means that it is sweet and fitting to die for one's country. The title is ironic as the unlucky soul that dies to the gas attack does not die sweet or peacefully. It's just another day on the battlefields of World War I . As our speaker, another soldier on the battlefield, lets us know right away, however, "normal" isn't a word that has any meaning for the soldiers anymore. They're all mentally and physically ravaged by the exertions of battle.
And then it gets worse. Just as the men are heading home for the night, gas shells drop beside them. The soldiers scramble for their gas masks in a frantic attempt to save their own lives. Unfortunately, they don't all get to their masks in time. Our speaker watches as a member of his crew chokes and staggers in the toxic fumes, unable to save him from an excruciating certain death.
Now fast-forward. It's some time after the battle, but our speaker just can't get the sight of his dying comrade out of his head. The soldier's image is everywhere: in the speaker's thoughts, in his dreams, in his poetry. Worst of all, our speaker can't do anything to help the dying soldier.
Bitterly, the speaker finally addresses the people at home who rally around the youth of England, and urge them to fight for personal glory and national honor. He wonders how they can continue to call for war. If they could only witness the physical agony war creates – or even experience the emotional trauma that the speaker's going through now – the speaker thinks they might change their views. In the speaker's mind, there's noting glorious or honorable about death. Or, for that matter, war itself.
