Answer:
From the opening sentence, we understand that there are thirteen bubbles that floated in the milk.
The author described the bubbles as "transparent hemispheres gleamed like souvenirs of the summer days just past, rich with blue reflections of the sky and of shadowy greens".
The effect of the author's choice of words was that of imagery as it helped the readers to "see" the bubbles in their mind's eye with such clarity as it was so succinctly described.
The author further described John's actions as he used the spoon to scoop the milk and swallow it in such a way that suggested he was either very hungry or in a hurry.
"John Hawkins jabbed the bubble closest to him with his spoon,. . .there was no mark of where it had been"
This description had the effect of making the readers know how eager John was to consume the milk and how quickly the ripples vanished.
The readers can also infer that John consumed the milk in an aggressive manner because of the way he jabbed at the ripple closest to him in his effort to drink the milk.
People who opt for a simple and healthy lifestyle are often
the ones who tend to live longer and are not hampered by stress. By choosing a diet where they eat foods that
are rich in vitamins and minerals and cutting back on fast food or processed
dishes, their life expectancy has great chance of increasing. Together with a healthy attitude, people who
make this choice tend to live longer.
What are the answers? I think I can help you on this, just tell the answers.
The passive voice formed by Subject + verb to be+Past Participle. The object in the active voice becomes the subject of the passive voice and the subject of the active voice is either the object in the passive voice or is not mentioned.
The passive voice is used when we don't know the performer of the action. Example: “The house was built in 1884” in this case we don't know who built the house.
The passive voice is used when the focus is on the receiver of the action. Example: “Five people were killed in a car accident”, in this case the focus is on “five people”
The passive voice is used when the focus is on the action. Example: “The car was stolen”, in this case the emphasis is on the fact that the car was stolen and not on who stole it.
So the three options that apply to the uses of the passive voice are:
when the performer of the action is unknown
when you want to emphasize the action directly
when you want to emphasize the receiver of the action
