Turn from Active to Passive

English
1 answer:
Bond [7.5K]9 days ago
4 0

The passive voice is formed by rearranging the usual subject of a sentence to the end, making it the agent in a passive voice structure, while the object transitions to become the new subject. Although the agent performs the action of the verb, the structure emphasizes the action more than the doer of the action. For instance:

In an active sentence: subject + verb +object

I consume pizza every day.

Converting to passive:  object + verb + agent

Pizza was consumed by me.

In some instances, the agent may not be identified in the passive voice due to its lesser significance.

Now that we know how to formulate it, let's transform these sentences from active to passive:

a. Someone is assisting her with the house chores.

b. The mail-order service dispatched a package to Mrs. Green.

A parcel was sent to Mrs. Green.

c. My friend forwarded me an invitation.

d. Mrs. Jones received some letters from the secretary.

e. The traffic officer had already issued him a parking ticket for illegal parking.

He had already received a ticket for illegal parking.

f. John gifted Elizabeth that beautiful ring.

That beautiful ring was presented to Elizabeth.

g. Her students brought her flowers.

Answer:

  • The general will compel Rainsford to join the hunt
  • Rainsford will try to flee from the island

Explanation:

For those familiar with this novel, it's clear that Rainsford has a dispute with Zaroff after he ends up in the water. This man possesses his own island where he engages in a unique style of hunting games. The primary aim is to train those whose ships have wrecked, granting them meals and weapons for a few days. Following this, Zaroff begins to track them down, and they must survive to win this unusual game and stay alive, with the grim outcome being death if he catches them.

This context allows us to deduce that the reasonable predictions a reader can draw from the passage are:

  • The general will compel Rainsford to join the hunt
  • Rainsford will try to flee from the island

Mary is giving a persuasive speech about the benefits of adoption over abortion and wants to engage her audience early on. Which
Naddik [7538]
C.

The speaker begins by introducing herself, allowing the audience to quickly grasp the personal significance of the topic. When audiences recognize the speaker's personal investment in the matter, they are more likely to engage. The introduction also employs an example of pathos, which is an emotional appeal effective for capturing audience interest. 

It’s beneficial to refrain from overwhelming the audience with statistics or other researchers' names at the start (although such elements will be utilized in the speech) as this may lend an overly formal or factual tone before they become engaged.
