Jack focuses on ensuring Gwendolen’s happiness, whereas Lady Bracknell is solely fixated on whether Jack can present proof of notable relatives. Lady Bracknell’s demand is absurd because expecting Jack to suddenly uncover one of his parents is unrealistic. Jack’s suggestion to offer the handbag as a stand-in for his parents underscores the silliness of her requirement.


Hope this helps :)

Which sentence is in the active voice?
hammer [7621]

Answer: Our old toaster consistently burns one side of the toast.

Explanation:

In sentences written in active voice, the emphasis is placed on the doer of the actionthat carries out the activity. The final statement - Our old toaster consistently burns one side of the toast, stands as the sole instance expressed in active voice. 'Burns' is a present simple tense of the verb 'to burn'.

The remaining sentences are articulated in passive voice, shifting attention to the recipient of the action instead. Passive voice structure features the verb ''to be'' coupled with the past participle (as seen in was negotiated, was colonized, and was quoted).
