The sentence ‘Slice the kiwi, bananas, and melon but leave the cherries alone.’ is incorrect. Comma is used when you want to separate the elements in series or to connect two independent clauses. A comma must also be placed after but since another element is being presented.

scoundrel [369]

After reading the original sentence as well as the options, we can choose the following one as the option that makes the sentence more active:

C. Campers<u> </u><u>must boil</u> water from the stream before drinking or cooking with it.

<h3>Active vs. Passive voice:</h3>
  • Sentences written in the active voice emphasize the performer of the action. The subject is the one who does the action, while the object is the one who receives it.
  • The structure of the active voice is: subject + verb + object.
  • On the other hand, sentences written in the passive voice emphasize the receiver of the action rather than the performer. The subject is the receiver, and the agent is the performer.
  • The structure of the passive voice is: subject + be + verb (past participle) + agent.
  • Let's compare:
  1. Active: I made the cake.
  2. Passive: The cake was made by me.

<h3>What about the sentence in question?</h3>
  • The sentence "Water from the stream <u>must be boiled</u> by campers before they drink or cook with it" is written in the passive voice, emphasizing the receiver of the action, "water".
  • To make it active, we must emphasize the performer of the action. The ones who will boil the water are the campers. Thus, the best option is letter C. "Campers <u>must boil</u> water from the stream before drinking or cooking with it."
