Which sentence is in the active voice?

English
1 answer:
hammer [7.6K]1 month ago
3 0

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).

On page 4 why does the author refer to the underground passages filled with boiling water as the geysers plumbing system
hammer [7621]

Response:

Water moves through the channels in a way akin to how water flows in pipes of a plumbing system.

Rationale:

The author compares the geysers' plumbing system with the underground channels filled with boiling water, illustrating that the movement of water within the channels resembles that through plumbing pipes.

The writer discusses the unpredictability of geysers, linking it to the frequent variations experienced by an underground channel filled with boiling water.

The analogy of the 'geyser plumbing system' is authentically employed due to the comparable nature of water flow in both channels and pipes.

Consequently, the most accurate response is the second option.
