Answer from: 24jgrove

'Our old toaster always burns the toast on one side' is an active voice sentence. Others are in the passive voice.

Further Explanation

Active voice is when the subject 'DO' the activity while in the passive voice the subject 'RECEIVE' an action.

The general form of active and passive voice:

Active voice: Subject + Verb + Object

Passive voice: Object + Verb + Subject

When do we use passive voice?

1. When we don't know who does the action

2. to emphasize the receiver/the action rather than the subject

Some examples how to change active voice into passive voice:

Present Simple: He writes a letter ---- A letter is written by him .

Present Continuous: He is writing a letter ----- A letter is being written by him .

Past Simple: He wrote a letter --- A letter was written by him.

Present Perfect: He has written a letter --- A letter has been written by him.

Past Continuous: He was writing a letter ---- A letter was being written by him .

Answer from: Quest

the purpose of the heading in the passage is to identify who is telling the story.

this excerpt is part of the book sugar changed the world (2010) written by marc aronson and marina budhos. as the book has been written by two people, the heading "marc" indicates that this specific excerpt is being narrated by aronson. in the fragment, marc describes his grandfather's story after hearing it from his cousin. however, there are other excerpts where budhos is the one that tells the story of her family.

aronson and budhos, who are husband and wife in real life, decided to write sugar changed the world when they found out how sugar, which had an important role in slavery and economy, changed their ancestors' lives.

Read the excerpt from chapter 6 of animal farm. by the autumn the animals were tired but happy. they had had a hard year, and after the sale of part of the hay and corn, the stores of food for the winter were none too plentiful, but the windmill compensated for everything. it was almost half built now. how does the pacing of this passage affect the reader’s interpretation of the text? a flashback to earlier events provides a pause in the pacing to slow events down. foreshadowing of events provides information as to what will happen to the windmill. the pace of the text quickens to convey the characters’ resolve to finish the windmill. the pace of the text quickens to move the story to its climax, the completion of the windmill.
