Correction!!! I read this over a few more times and I think it is the fourth one because it says "words that were once considered slang are now words of full, legitimate standing in our language." It's talking about the the past tense and present tense of slang. So sorry for the confusion
Answer:
Explanation:
Describe the procedure of first study done on imagery. Investigated the use of imagery in a variety of tasks including
"I finished my research paper two days early."
A good way to determine active vs passive is to ask who performed the action. Did the subject perform the action, or was the action performed "by" the subject?
The subject performs the action in this sentence:
I = [subject]
finished = [action]
my research paper = [thing on which the action was performed]
In the other examples, the subject has an action performed on it.
My research paper = [subject]
was finished/is being finished = [action]
two days early = [time frame information, not really important for the discussion here]
At this point, you have no indication as to who will finish the paper, do you? No. You assume that the paper will be completed "by me," but it could just as easily be completed "by my friend."
If you can add "by [person/thing]" to a sentence, it's passive voice. If you can't, it's not. Clearly, you would never say "I finished my research paper by me."
I would say C is most likely the correct answer because all of the other options already exist and don’t work as well as we would like them to, but if you instill values in people, it is more likely to stick with them:)
