Answer:

Explanation:

Active voice - a sentence where the subject performs the action stated by the verb. ( definition from yourdictionary.com )

Sentences in active voice tend to follow the structure, subject + verb + object. So before we even look at the answer choices we should identify the subject, verb and object of each sentence.

Remember the subject is the who or what, the verb is the action and the object an item that can be seen or touched.

First sentence: The cake was baked, decorated and presented by Elizabeth.

The who or what of this sentence appears to be Elizabeth, the action is baked, decorated and presented and the object is the cake. So if this sentence were to be written in active voice it would start with Elizabeth, talk about what she's doing or the action being done and end with the object the action is being done to, or the cake. So it should look something like Elizabeth baked, decorated and presented the cake.

This exact sentence is in answer choice B meaning that B is likely the answer.

But lets read the beginning of each answer choice just to make sure.

First sentence of answer A: The cake was baked, decorated and presented. This sentence starts with the object, and then the actions done on the object and doesn't even have a subject. This does not follow the subject + verb + object structure and therefore cannot be the answer.

First sentence of answer C: The cake is baked, decorated, and presented by Elizabeth. Similar to the start of A, this sentence starts with the object, then the action being done to the object and then the subject. This sentence is in passive voice and doesn't follow the subject + verb + object structure and therefore cannot be the answer.

First sentence of D: Baking, decorating, and presenting the cake was important to Elizabeth. This sentence begins with the actions on the object, then the object and then the subject. This doesn't follow the subject + verb + object structure and therefore cannot be the answer.

So with only looking at the first sentence of each answer choice we can determine that the answer is B

Which statement best describes how the structure of these excerpts helps to develop the themes? The refrains of "An Irish Airman

marishachu [46]

In my opinion, the correct answer is D: <span>Both the parallel structure in the excerpt of "An Irish Airman Foresees His Own Death" and the repetition in the excerpt from "Do not go gentle into that good night" emphasize the inevitability of death.

The main point of both poems is that death is inevitable. However, in Yates' poem, the airman willingly faces death, because of an inner impulse that he finds hard to describe. In this excerpt, he tells us that he is more or less indifferent toward those who are below, on Earth. He is interested in death itself, as a dark phenomenon that haunts him. On the other hand, in Thomas' poem, the inevitability of death is human tragic destiny. We should cling to life as best we can precisely because death is inevitable. These two poems have the same topic, but opposite directions of thought: Yates' speaker goes to meet death, embracing it, whereas Thomas' speaker encourages his dying father to try and postpone death, if possible.</span>

Which questions does a reader need to ask to find a claim?

bixtya [17]

Answer:

A reader needs to ask, what does the author want to convince you of.

Explanation:

If asking the authors position, you will only find the opinion of the author. While this can also be used to find a claim it isn't always the most effective.

If asking what the issue is in general, you can't find the authors claim from the start.

If asking the reasons, that will help you find the reasoning, not the claim.

Which of these phrases uses parallelism to create a sad tone?

Sati [7]

The correct answer is B. I called for Sadie. Sadie didn't answer. I waited up for Sadie didn't come home.

Explanation:

Parallel constructions involve the repetition of a grammatical pattern including the use of the same tense or grammatical form to express elements of the same importance. This structure is used in the sentence "I called for Sadie. Sadie didn't answer. I waited up for Sadie didn't come home" because in this sentence all the actions are expressed using the simple past tense through verbs such as called, waited, or didn't answer. Moreover, this structure helps the author create a sad tone because all the actions expressed the idea Sadie cannot be found.
