Answer:

C. The author likens joy to sunshine to show how positive feelings can overcome dreariness.

Explanation:

This is a very common metaphor in literature: Sunshine is like an almighty force that can overcome pretty much anything.

In this case, Hector's joy is compared to sunshine, and there's no literal sunshine actually involved. Regardless, the figurative brightness and warmth of Hector's positive attitude is told to be powerful enough to overcome the dreariness (likened to gray skies and rain) that those around him may be going through.

The answer is D because it is the only answer choice that actually points out Hector's attitude as being a sunshine that overcomes the dreariness in others' moods.

Paragraph I.

Answer:

In order to reunite with nature, a person needs to withdraw and look at it with fresh and pure eyes, without all the bias that civilization has imposed on us.

Explanation:

In our lives, we are too often immersed in trivial worldly affairs, so much so that we take nature and its beauty for granted. Stars, for example, are so magnificent that they are worthy of adoration. But we often fail to see their magnificence just because we see them every night.

Paragraph II.

Answer:

Nature's beauty and perfection are inexhaustible even for the wisest of people.

Explanation:

We can try to grasp nature's wonders all we want - they will never expire or cease to exist, nor will they become incomprehensible. On the contrary, nature will always reflect both "the wisdom of [a man's] best hour" and "the simplicity of his childhood".

Paragraph III.

Answer:

A man can own fields or farms or woods, but he can never own nature itself.

Explanation:

Nature is integral (whole and undivided). Even though people may draw lines and boundaries through it, they can never own it. Only the poet can grasp its full integrity.

Paragraph IV.

Answer:

Nature is comprehensive and inclusive of all of our feelings.

Explanation:

In nature, a man can reestablish contact with his youth and childhood, but also with his own universal nature. Only there can he finally understand how pointless his egotism is, how unimportant all his worldly concerns and cares.

Paragraph V.

Answer:

In their essence, man and nature are connected with an unbreakable bond.

Explanation:

Even if physically alone, a man can never be truly alone in nature. That is because every element of nature (for example, a bough) reflects his inner, spiritual processes. A storm may take a man by surprise, but it is not unknown or unfamiliar to him.

Paragraph VI.

Answer:

Human spirit and emotions are a result of harmony between man and nature.

Explanation:

We can "read" the same landscape differently, according to our current emotions. For example, a scene that yesterday seemed delightful can today appear as melancholic. "Nature always wears the colors of the spirit," says Emerson in this paragraph. It means that nature is susceptible to our imagination, which in turn means that man and nature are equal, and equally important.

Which situations are best suited for the passive voice? Select three options. when you are talking about a general truth when th

Georgia [21]

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
