b. Always ask yourself this question: “ Am I pleased with the results?”
A colon should be used when there is a complete sentence before it. In option B, "Always ask yourself this question" is a complete sentence.
Option A is incorrect because after "yourself" your brain automatically wants to say "is ...". Option B is incorrect because the quotation is embedded within the sentence so there should not be any punctuation after "is". Option D is also incorrect. There should not be any punctuation after the word "like" either.
Answer:
A new road is being planned near my house by the government.
Explanation:
An active voice is when the subject acts upon the verb while in a passive voice, the subject receives the action of the verb. Moreover, the verbs in the active and passive voices will change according to the form of the sentence.
The subject will be placed at the end of the sentence while the object will come in the place of the object (i.e. exchange of position/location). Also, the subject will be introduced by the word "by" in the passive voice.
The given sentence "the government is planning a new road near my house" can be 'dissected' as below-
<em>the government= the subject</em>
<em>is planning= present continuous</em>
<em>a new road= object</em>
Thus, the new sentence in the passive voice becomes-
A new road is being planned near my house by the government.
The purpose of a descriptive essay is to describe a person, place, or thing in such vivid detail that the reader can easily form a precise mental picture of what is being written.
