The correct answer is A. active voice.
When the subject performs a particular action, it means that the sentence is active rather than passive. If the object was the focus of the sentence, then it would be a passive sentence.
For example: I love reading books - active sentence
Books are written by writers - passive sentence
These sentences can be in future, past, or present tense - which means that tense is not important.
Well, simile is a comparison using like or as. Ex: His hair was as white as snow. I am unsure of imagery. Personification is describing inanimate things with human traits. Ex: The sun smiled down at the Earth. Metaphor is directly saying that one thing is another thing. Ex: The shoes were cement on her feet. I am unsure of tone. And hyperbole is like an exaggeration. Ex: The book weighed a ton.
Answer:
The Ministry of Transport received a petition sent by the residents against the authorities when they realized that the authorities were contracting a new motorway through the housing estate.
Explanation:
The active voice is the mostly used grammatical structure wherein the subject comes first, followed by the verb and then the object. The reverse is the case with the passive voice as the object becomes the subject of the sentence. The word order is reversed but the meaning of the sentence remains unchanged.
However, the reader might become confused with the passive voice as clarity is reduced. In the sentence above, the Ministry of Transport who were the object became the subject, and the the subject, 'residents', the object.
The poem is about the relationship of a nostalgic lyric self with his mother, who was a seamstress. A first image is found in the following fragment:
/ how the thread darted in and out
galloping along the frayed edges /
She exercises her trade with a thread that seems to gallop on the cloth.
Then, a very evocative image that describes his mother / you were the river current
carrying the roaring notes forming them into pictures of a little boy reclining
a swallow flying /.
In both cases, the visual aspect is used to improve the lyric quality
