The correct answer is B. Family members set places at the table for relatives who cannot attend.

The original, passive sentence was - Places are set at the table by family members for relatives who cannot attend. In order to revise this sample sentence into active voice, we need to put the subject of the sentence first - those who perform the action of setting the table - family members.

Therefore, options C and D are incorrect because the subject doesn't come first here - these two examples are still passive sentences. Options A and B are active; however, A is incorrect because members who aren't present cannot possibly set the table. Thus, the only correct answer is B.

What primary element do “Young Goodman Brown” and “A Pair of Silk Stockings” share?

taurus [48]

I would argue that both short stories present characters (Goodman Brown and Mrs. Sommers, respectively) that are weary of their current lives and, ideally, would like to be able to escape. Goodman Brown is losing his faith in his wife, his community and his religion, and Mrs. Sommers would prefer to focus on her and on her needs rather than on her children.
