Answer:

According to the Elements of Style, the sentence which is written in active voice is option D) The workers took precautions while digging along power lines.

Explanation:

In very simple terms, a sentence is said to be written in an <em>active voice</em> if the verb(s) (that is, actions words) is(are) being performed by the subject(s).

In the above sentence, <u>the workers</u> are the subjects while the action words/phrases are:

  • took precaution
  • digging.

A simpler example (with one subject and one verb) is:

<u>John</u> is <u>driving</u> the car.

Here, <em>John</em> is the subject and <em>driving </em>is the verb.

A passive version of the above sentence would be: The car was driven by John.

In three to five sentences, explain the connection between sentence fluency and proper use of conventions.
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

1) The connection between fluency and the proper sentence is the use of the convention in punctuation. So the conventions which are on the surface of writing are the specialist usage of the judgment in the structure of writing. And the sentence's rhythm is the fluency and flow of languages, sounds, patterns, like the way that its used on book plays.

2) The purpose of informative writing is to focus on the facts like what something looks like, what it is, and what it is made of. It can also increase the knowledge of a concept or a subject. In the other hand, explanatory writing focus on how something acts, works, and why are things actually happening.

The young girl wanted to sit in the front row, but the seats were all occupied. In this sentence, what type of connection word i
Leya [2.2K]

In this sentence the word "but" is a coordinating word.

There are seven coordinated conjuctions which are and, but, for, nor, or, so, and yet. Coordinating conjunctions connect words, phrases, and clauses. They connect sweeping ideas together, creating cohesive, comprehensive ideas. In the case of BUT, it shows contract between the first idea and the second one. In this case the contradictions lies in the fact that the girl wanted to sit in a place where there were no more available sears.

4vir4ik [10]

This question is incomplete. Its full version is:

On the afternoon of that eventful day, I stood on the porch, dumb, expectant. I guessed vaguely from my mother's signs and from the hurrying to and fro in the house that something unusual was about to happen, so I went to the door and waited on the steps. The afternoon sun penetrated the mass of honeysuckle that covered the porch and fell on my upturned face. My fingers lingered almost unconsciously on the familiar leaves and blossoms which had just come forth to greet the sweet southern spring. I did not know what the future held of marvel or surprise for me.  

Which answer choice best describes the imagery in the excerpt?

  1. Sensory details appeal to the reader's sense of hearing.
  2. A metaphor creates a visual image for the reader.
  3. A simile creates a visual image for the reader.
  4. Sensory details appeal to the reader's sense of touch

Answer:

The right answer is option 4.

Explanation:

IMAGERY: it is figurative language used to represent objects, actions, and ideas in such a way that it appeals to our physical senses. E.g. Time is slipping through my fingers.

In this excerpt, taken from "The Story of My Life" by Helen Keller, the answer that best describes the imagery is option number four "sensory details appeal to the reader's sense of touch".
