To our astonishment, three small hamsters, recent escapees in all likelihood, slowly have come out from under the bed.
Correct
Answer:
1. Whom was met by you?
2. To whom was the book given by you? OR Whom was the book given to by you?
3. By who were you called a list?
Explanation:
1. This is more simple. You simply find the verb "meet", determine the tense using the auxiliary verb "did" (past tense); from this you get "met". Then identify the subject ("you"), and string it all together with the passive voice form of questions: object + verb + by + subject, or "Whom was met by you?".
2. For this question, the original active voice question was grammatically wrong: it should be "To whom did you give the book?" or "Whom did you give the book to?" Using the same method mentioned in question 1, you'll get the answer.
3. This is a little different from the other two questions, since it's asking about the identity of the subject, not the object. This means the sentence structure should be similar, but with the subject moved to the start. This could technically be done to all of the questions, but most people use the "object + verb to be + verb + by + subject" form for finding the object.
Anyways, back to the question: the form used should be "by + subject + verb to be + object + verb". This explains the answer.
Sorry if I didn't explain the answers that well
Answer:
A) Change the verbs to be consistent "ran, shopped and ate".
Explanation:
Faulty parallel structure is when there are discrepancies or errors in the form or structure of a sentence. This error can be in the form of tenses or their structuring.
In the given sentence <em>"Last weekend, Constanza ran, went shopping and was eating an apple"</em>, the faulty parallel structure is in the tense. This means that the tenses used for the verbs in the sentence are not the same. Taking into consideration the time frame of the event mentioned, it is an event that was done in the past, "last weekend" which therefore confirms it should be in the past tense. Now, the verbs in the sentence "ran, went shopping, was eating" are not consistent.
So, by changing all of them to the past tense form consistent with "ran", we can <u>change "went shopping" to "shopped" and "was eating" into "ate", meaning from past continuous to simple past.</u>
Thus, the correct answer to fix the faulty parallel structure will be option A.
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Although you forgot to include the main point 1 as a reference, we can help you with the following comment.
"How do we engage with others while staying true to ourselves?"
The best to do so is to genuinely be ourselves, truly knowing ourselves after reflecting who we are, what we aspire, what are our strengths, and weaknesses. If we know what our belief system is and why, we won't have any problem in relating to other people, although they have different belief systems and approaches to life.
We can respectfully disagree with other people's ideas and show tolerance for the way other people think.
