Q5: If the sentence were written in active voice instead of passive voice, it would specify who inspected the wheels.
Q1: The answer to the first question is "passive voice". To determine this, you need to understand the definition of the term "passive voice" in grammar. The passive voice is a grammatical structure in which the subject of a sentence is being acted upon, or in other words, the object of the action becomes the grammatical subject of the sentence. In this case, the subject is not performing the action, but rather receiving it. So, when you see a sentence where the subject is being acted upon, it is an example of the passive voice.
Q2: To answer the second question, you need to understand the difference between the active voice and passive voice. The active voice emphasizes the doer of the action, while the passive voice emphasizes the receiver of the action. So, out of the options given, the correct answer is option C: "Compared to the passive voice, the active voice emphasizes an action."
Q3: To identify the sentence in the given paragraph that is written in passive voice, you need to look for a sentence where the subject is being acted upon rather than performing the action. In this case, the correct answer is option D: "In 1787, the Northwest Territory was created by Congress."
Q4: To rewrite the given sentence in passive voice without changing its meaning, you need to change the sentence structure so that the subject becomes the receiver of the action. The best way to do this is to choose option B: "Parents received a note about the upcoming game from the football coach."
Q5: To determine the information that would be contained in the sentence if it were written in active voice instead of passive voice, you need to consider how the sentence structure would change. In active voice, the subject performs the action, so it would specify who inspected the wheels. Therefore, the correct answer is option A: "It would specify who inspected the wheels."
