Answer:
Several teams observed the predicted sharp edges characteristic of a cosmic string.
Explanation:
Active voice is when the subject is followed by the verb and then the object. Whereas, in a passive voice, the object assumes the starting point, folllowed by the verb and then the subject.
The sentence - <em>The predicted sharp edges characteristic of a cosmic string were observed by several teams</em>
is written in the passive voice. So, to change it into the active voice, the subject "several teams" will begin the sentence, followed by the verb "observed" and then the object.
Thus, the final sentence in the active voice will become
Several teams observed the predicted sharp edges characteristic of a cosmic string.

<span>Satire is a genre of
literature in which individuals, corporation, government or society are ridiculed
in purpose of constructive social criticism, using wit to draw attention to
both particular and wider issues in society in order to correct or shape
opinions and behavior. But, satire can’t be effective in shaping behavior or
opinions if the audience is always in on the joke and never being targeted. The
effectiveness of satiric work is mirrored in sole comprehension of the targeted
group of individuals that they are wrong, and should correct their opinions and
behavior. Many satiric writers believe that satires should be medicine
disguised as candy, so it would be easier for targeted group to accept it. If
only non-targeted audience comprehend the joke (main idea of satiric work), the
satire would not be effective as they agree with author’s criticism and there
is no need for them to correct their behavior nor their opinions.</span>
