Response:
"It was only after an extended silence that he spoke, in a tentative tone, "I suppose you guys recall I once briefly became a fresh-water sailor," which indicated we were destined, just before the tide began to recede, to learn about one of Marlow's unresolved encounters."
Clarification:
Flashback in literature signifies a moment when the story’s narrative shifts back to a previous point in time. This technique is commonly employed to illustrate past occurrences that provide significant background information.
In the provided excerpt, a flashback arises to remind the second character of his change in profession to a fresh-water sailor for a period before the twist of fate led them to hear about one of Marlow's ambiguous experiences.
To convert the sentence into passive voice, you must change the focus from the subject performing the action to the object receiving it (in this instance, "money" is the object that is "earned").
Another important thing to remember:
When a sentence is in passive voice, it tends to imply that the action is being done indirectly. So, once the phrase is rephrased to passive, it may seem like "money" is initiating the act of "earning"; however, we know that it's actually the "father" who is responsible.
The money was earned by Father for all of us.
