Is the verb in the sentence in the active voice or the passive voice? This race car is driven by a sixteen-year-old boy.a. passive voice
b. active voice could someone help me understand the difference XD its too subtle for me

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:


It's in passive voice.

A good rule of thumb for cases like this is that if it has any variation of the verb "to be" (is, was, were, etc.) it's passive voice.
If you wanted to switch it to active voice you need to get rid of "is", and this is usually done by switching the subject and the object (so while in the original sentence, the race car is the doing the verb, to switch it you'd need to make the sixteen-year-old boy be the one doing the verb). This new sentence would be something like:
The sixteen-year-old boy drove the racecar

The ballad of "The Inchcape Rock" retells the legend of a treacherous reef in the North Sea, of the kind Abbot who sought to protect sailors from the rocks, and of the Rover who sought to sabotage the Abbot's efforts for his own gain.No stir in the air, no stir in the sea,The ship was as still as she could be;Her sails from heaven received no motion;Her keel was steady in the ocean.Without either sign or sound of their shockThe waves flowed over the Inchcape Rock;So little they rose, so little they fell,They did not move the Inchcape Bell.The good old Abbot of AberbrothokHad placed that bell on the Inchcape Rock;On a buoy in the storm it floated and swung,And over the waves its warning rung.When the rock was hid by the surges’ swell,The mariners heard the warning bell;And then they knew the perilous rockAnd blessed the Abbot of Aberbrothok.The sun in heaven was shining gay,—All things were joyful on that day;The sea birds screamed as they wheeled around,And there was joyance in their sound.The buoy of the Inchcape Bell was seen,A darker spot on the ocean green;Sir Ralph the Rover walked his deckAnd he fixed his eye on the darker speck.He felt the cheering power of spring,—It made him whistle, it made him sing;His heart was mirthful to excess,But the Rover’s mirth was wickedness.His eye was on the Inchcape float.Quoth he, “My men, put out the boatAnd row me to the Inchcape Rock,And I’ll plague the Abbot of Aberbrothok.”The boat is lowered, the boatmen row,And to the Inchcape Rock they go;Sir Ralph bent over from the boat,And he cut the bell from the Inchcape float.Down sank the bell with a gurgling sound;The bubbles rose and burst around.Quoth Sir Ralph, “The next who comes to the RockWon’t bless the Abbot of Aberbrothok.”Sir Ralph the Rover sail’d away,—He scoured the seas for many a day;And now, grown rich with plundered store,He steers his course for Scotland’s shore.So thick a haze o’erspreads the skyThey cannot see the sun on high;The wind hath blown a gale all day;At evening it hath died away.On the deck the Rover takes his stand;So dark it is they see no land.Quoth Sir Ralph, “It will be lighter soon,For there is the dawn of the rising moon.”“Canst hear,” said one, “the breakers roar?Methinks we should be near the shore.”“Now where we are I cannot tell,But I wish I could hear the Inchcape Bell.”They hear no sound; the swell is strong;Though the wind hath fallen, they drift alongTill the vessel strikes with a shivering shock,Full on the ledge of the Inchcape Rock!Sir Ralph the Rover tore his hair;He curst himself in his despair;The waves rush in on every side—The ship is sinking beneath the tide.
He clasps the crag with crooked hands;Close to the sun in lonely lands, Ringed with the azure world, he stands, The wrinkled sea beneath him crawls; He watches from his mountain walls; And like a thunderbolt he falls.

Read the following passage and answer the question that follows.The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hydeby Robert Louis StevensonPart 1Mr. Utterson the lawyer was a man of a rugged countenance, that was never lighted by a smile; cold, scanty and embarrassed in discourse; backward in sentiment; lean, long, dusty, dreary, and yet somehow lovable. At friendly meetings, and when the wine was to his taste, something eminently human beaconed from his eye; something indeed which never found its way into his talk, but which spoke not only in these silent symbols of the after-dinner face, but more often and loudly in the acts of his life. He was austere with himself; drank gin when he was alone, to mortify a taste for vintages; and though he enjoyed the theatre, had not crossed the doors of one for twenty years. But he had an approved tolerance for others; sometimes wondering, almost with envy, at the high pressure of spirits involved in their misdeeds; and in any extremity inclined to help rather than to reprove."I incline to, Cain's heresy*," he used to say. "I let my brother go to the devil in his quaintly 'own way.'" In this character, it was frequently his fortune to be the last reputable acquaintance and the last good influence in the lives of down-going men. And to such as these, so long as they came about his chambers, he never marked a shade of change in his demeanour.No doubt the feat was easy to Mr. Utterson; for he was undemonstrative at the best, and even his friendship seemed to be founded in a similar catholicity of good-nature. It is the mark of a modest man to accept his friendly circle ready-made from the hands of opportunity; and that was the lawyer's way. His friends were those of his own blood or those whom he had known the longest; his affections, like ivy, were the growth of time, they implied no aptness in the object. Hence, no doubt, the bond that united him to Mr. Richard Enfield, his distant kinsman, the well-known man about town. It was a nut to crack for many, what these two could see in each other, or what subject they could find in common. It was reported by those who encountered them in their Sunday walks, that they said nothing, looked singularly dull, and would hail with obvious relief the appearance of a friend. For all that, the two men put the greatest store by these excursions, counted them the chief jewel of each week, and not only set aside occasions of pleasure, but even resisted the calls of business, that they might enjoy them uninterrupted.*The biblical story of Cain and Abel is a story about two brothers who gave offerings to God. Abel’s offering was accepted by God, but Cain’s was not. Jealous, Cain killed his brother. When God asked Cain where Abel was, Cain said, “Am I my brother’s keeper?” By saying this, Cain implied that what his brother did was his own business. (Genesis 4:1-16)What may the mention of the Cain and Abel story in the quote in the second paragraph foreshadow?That Mr. Utterson will be involved in violenceThat Mr. Utterson and Mr. Enfield are actually brothersThat this will be a story about Mr. Utterson's sin and forgivenessThat Mr. Utterson and Mr. Enfield are two parts of a trinity of characters

Petrarchan sonnets begin with a(n) ____________ and end with a(n) _________________.Question 4 options:
volta; octave
octave; sestet
octave; volta
quatrain; couplet

Answers

A Petrarchan sonnet is from Italian origin and is characterized by the blason in which the subject can be elaborately praised or scorned. They have 14 lines in total, one octave and a sestet.

Question: Petrarchan sonnets begin with a(n) ____________ and end with a(n) _________________.

Answer: B. octave; sestet
I think that the best answer is this one:

octave; sestet

Actually a sonet is composed of octave and sestet: first the octave, then the sestet.

A couplet
Volta is the beginning of the sested (so it would be in the middle)
The last answer would also be not far from truth, but a proper petrarchan sonnet does not end with a couplet.

What is one reason why the English were afraid of a Roman Catholic monarch?A) Unpleasant memories of Mary, who had burned Protestants at the stake, remained.
B) Roman Catholic kings had joined England with Italy.
C) A Roman Catholic king would eliminate the English language.
D) Roman Catholics had blown up the Parliament once already.

Answers

The correct answer is A. Queen Mary was a true Roman Catholic who wanted her kingdom to re establish the Roman Catholic religion after her father had broken with the Catholic Church in Rome. As a result, she decided that to make England catholic, she had to vanish any trace of the Protestant reform. For that reason, she hunted down and slaughtered many Protestants across England. In fact, that is the reason why she was called 'Bloody Mary'.

The other options are either not historically correct, or they do not refer to a monarch
A. unpleasant memories of Mary, who had burned protestants at the stake, remained
