Thank you so mush!

You're welcome.

I had some other questions posted do you think someone might be able to check my answers? They are posted by Jason, Kevin, and Robert, these are my brothers, they were trying to help me out. And Thanks again.

1) Well, if by "directness" you mean making your writing sound distant and detached, then sure, passive voice adds directness. So I guess that makes it... false!

2) Oh yes, definitely avoid unnecessary shifts in verb tense when writing. It's like jumping on a trampoline with mismatched socks – it creates confusion and messes with the balance. So, that answer is true! Keep those tenses in check!

To check your answers, you can compare them with the correct answers. Let's go through each question:

1) Passive voice adds directness to your writing.
Your answer: b) false
Correct answer: a) true

Explanation: Passive voice is often used to emphasize the action being done to the subject rather than the subject itself. It can provide objectivity and remove the focus from the person doing the action. However, it can also make writing less direct and less clear. Therefore, the statement is true, and your answer is incorrect.

2) You should avoid unnecessary shifts in verb tense when writing.
Your answer: a) true
Correct answer: a) true

Explanation: Maintaining consistent verb tense is important in writing to ensure clarity and avoid confusion. Unnecessary shifts in verb tense can disrupt the flow of the text and make the writing harder to follow. Therefore, the statement is true, and your answer is correct.

Based on the explanation above, it appears that you got question 2 correct, but question 1 incorrect.
