Most business writing employs active sentences to improve readability. One way to immediately improve your writing is to use act

ive rather than passive voice in most sentences.
Active voice and passive voice contain the following grammatical patterns:
Active voice: Doer as Subject + Verb + Object
Passive voice: Object as Subject + Be Verb + Verb + Doer (Optional)

Using active voice in writing includes many benefits. The doer–action–object pattern allows for faster processing because most people's natural thinking occurs in this way. It also emphasizes the business orientation of action. Perhaps most important, it specifies the doer. Since business activities depend on accountability and coordination, knowing the identity of the doer of an action is usually important. In most cases, active voice also makes your sentences more concise.

Generally, active sentences are most effective in business writing. Passive sentences, however, are more effective when you want to avoid blaming or sounding bossy. Identify whether below sentences are in active or passive form. You will also evaluate whether active or passive form is most appropriate for each sentence.

a. We provide
b. Option to change
c. Contract is provided
d. Forms that are completed
e. Avoid careless errors
f. Financing reps will work
g. Reps determined
h. You are provided
i. You can manage
j. Your application

There are some differences between active and passive sentences beyond the structures given, for instance, the passive sentences will focus on the objects as the main element of the sentence, the passive sentences sometimes make a message difficult to read, and they are used in most of the sentences that have inanimate objects.

This lesson mentioned that an effective introduction includes three main parts. One of them is called _______
Olenka [21]

Answer:

C). The reason the issue is important.

Explanation:

Introduction is one of the most significant elements of an essay or research paper as it functions to grab the audience's attention by introducing the key subject matter(topic) and its scope to them and outlining the key ideas that are going to be discussed.

It primarily consists of three elements: the opening statement(or the 'attention grabber') that reveals the topic in an appealing manner before the readers that captures their attention which is followed by <u>supporting details(lead-in sentence) that justifies that why the topic(issue or concern that is being discussed) is significant</u> and lastly, the thesis statement which declares the scope or purpose of the essay or work and key aspects that the author is going to focus upon.

As per the question, after grabbing the attention from the opening statement, <u>the author needs to establish the credibility of his topic and build audience's trust</u>. Therefore, he brings in 'the reason why the issue is significant' as it functions to support the author's decision to select that specific topic and aspect. Hence, <u>option C</u> is the correct answer.
