Answer:

  1. b) passive voice
  2. a) active voice
  3. a) active voice
  4. b) passive voice
  5. a) active voice

Explanation:

Passive voice is used to emphasize the result of an action rather than who performs it, called agent. It is used with the correct tense and form of the verb <em>to be</em> and the verb in the past participle. In that matter, in active voice, the subject performs the action of the verb, while in passive voice the subject receives the action of the verb. In passive voice, the agent who carries out th action of the verb is introduced with the preposition <em>by</em>.

Marley came to Scrooge's home because he was on a mission. He went to great trouble to arrange this visit with his old partner b
Talja [164]

Answer:

He went to great trouble to arrange this visit with his old partner because:

C. He learned his lesson too late and wanted to save Scrooge from an afterlife of misery.

Explanation:

<em>“It is required of every man,” the Ghost returned, “that the spirit within him should walk abroad among his fellowmen, and travel far and wide; and if that spirit goes not forth in life, it is condemned to do so after death. …”</em>

The lines above are said by Jacob Marley in Stave One of "A Christmas' Carol". Marley is now a ghost and has come to visit his old friend, Scrooge. <u>According to Marley, people are supposed to evolve while they are alive. They are supposed to become better, kinder, more empathetic toward others. In case they fail to do so, they are bound to do it after death.</u>

<u>That is why he has decided to visit Scrooge. He wants his friend to avoid having the same fate as himself. Scrooge is a cold-hearted man, so Marley wants him to learn his lesson before death and become a better person.</u>

Read this paragraph.
Leviafan [203]

Answer:

The paragraph has a first-person narrator sharing an eyewitness account.

Explanation:

The authors writes/talks in the first person using words like "I, me, my, mine, we, us, our, ours." "I, me, my, mine" are called first-person singular pronouns. These are pronouns you use when you are stating you did or are doing. "We, us, our, ours" are first person possessive pronouns. This is when you are talking about something <em>and </em>another person are doing. There are also possessive pronouns which are slightly more complicated because they can fall into more than one category of pronouns. Possessive pronouns are used when you or you and more than one person own or are in possession of an object.

"First-person singular pronouns are 'I,' 'me,' 'my,' and 'mine. ' First-person plural pronouns are 'we,' 'us,' 'our,' and 'ours. ' First-person possessive pronouns are 'my,' 'mine,' 'our,' and 'ours. ' First-person subjective pronouns are 'I,' 'we,' 'my,' and 'our."

Not only did the quote come from that website but I would recommend going there for information.

This is the first question I have ever answered, seeing as though I made my account about 10 minutes prior to this, so I hope this helps and that it wasn't too bad.
