The correct answer is A): Based on the excerpt from John Milton's "Paradise Lost," Satan's likely motive for wanting to punish Adam and Eve was that he envied the love they shared, which he would never experience.

There are several clues that support this answer: he finds the sight of Adam and Eve embracing to be hateful; he also says that they will enjoy bliss while he is thrust into Hell, and that he will have no joy or love while he is there. His envy is evident when he says that he will only feel desire and longing pines for what he can't have. All the other options for the answer mention God, and Satan's feeling towards him, but in this excerpt there is no mention of God or His preferences.

write in active voice, "The predicted sharp edges characteristic of a cosmic string were observed by several teams".
jeyben [28]

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.

Ok, so I'm going to try my best to answer this.

My best guess would be how he said that he was able to see his answer through whoever he is talking to, then lose it again. He understood and got something, then lost it's understanding. I sincerely hope this helps.. I'm sorry I'm not very good at explaining. ^^;
