In the active voice, the subject of the sentence is the one doing the action.
Example: George loves Hanna
Here, George is the one doing the action of love
In the passive voice, the subject of the sentence is the one receiving the action.
Example: Hanna is loved by George.
Here, Hanna is the one receiving the action of love from George.
Based on this, let's examine the four choices we have:
1- Donations have been provided to the shelter: the subject is not the one doing the action (providing donations). Therefore, this sentence is in passive voice.
2- The shelter was given donations by them: the subject is not the one providing the action (providing donations). Therefore, this sentence is in passive voice.
3- He often volunteers at the animal shelter: the subject is the doer of the action. Therefore, this sentence is in active voice.
4- Volunteering by him has often been done: The subject of the sentence is not the one doing the action. Therefore, this sentence is in passive voice.
Based on this, the correct choice is "He often volunteers at the animal shelter".
Come make that pu.sieee purr
Answer:
The revision that will correct the punctuation error in the sentence is:
2. replacing the comma after "aside" with a semicolon
Explanation:
The sentence can be basically divided into <u>two main ideas</u>. One concerns the shopping list made by Angela's brother. The other concerns Angela picking up the real list to go shopping. <u>The first idea is developed by listing the silly items Angela's brother wrote down and saying that Angela put that list aside. To start the second idea, a comma does not suffice. Therefore, we need to place a semicolon after "aside", since that is where the first idea ends. The semicolon will come before "then", which is the mark of what Angela did next, the second idea. </u>The correct sentence is:
"Chuckling, Angela looked over her little brother's shopping list of bubble gum, race cars, and a puppy, and laid it aside; then, ignoring Harry's protests, she picked up the real list and headed for the door."
Explanation:
1. A deliciously scrumptious sweet.
2. A nice, kind, and thoughtful robot.
