I have a grammar test coming up next Tuesday. I cannot seem to find a good rule for active and passive voices. I have flunked all of the worksheets that my teacher gave us on it. Please help me find a rule so I will do well on my test.

Answers

An active voice is a straight out sentence like "She wrote a song". The focus is on the she and that she wrote a song. Simple.
Now the passive voice is different. This is a tip that I use a lot to figure out the difference. Passive voices usually have a to be verb like is, were, was, and a past participle, like learned, cleaned, and watched.
In this case, the sentence in passive voice would be "A song was written by her." Notice how was is a to be verb and written is a part participle.
Hope this clears up any confusion and write in the comments if you have any questions. And good luck on your test :)

A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE - SCENE 3 & 4List some of the basic inconsistencies in Blanche’s character. What do these inconsistencies contribute to the character and the plot?

Answers

Answer:

List of some of the basic inconsistencies in Blanche’s character are

1. She always wants to show off so as to be noticed by others;

2. She is a pathological liar;

3. Scene 4 points up Blanche as the definite outsider.

Explanation:

1. Blanche intentionally moves into the light when she is undressing so as to be noticed. This is a manifestation of Blanche's desire to be the center of attention, and her use of her body to attract attention prepares us for some of her later lurid escapades.

2. She lies to Mitch about her reason for visiting Stella and about her age. But as Blanche will later say, these are only little illusions that a woman must create.

3. Scene 4 points up Blanche as the definite outsider. In attempting to get Stella to see Stanley as a common and bestial person, she succeeds only in alienating herself from Stella.

Help quick Read the passage from Animal Farm.As Clover looked down the hillside her eyes filled with tears. If she could have spoken her thoughts, it would have been to say that this was not what they had aimed at when they had set themselves years ago to work for the overthrow of the human race. These scenes of terror and slaughter were not what they had looked forward to on that night when old Major first stirred them to rebellion. If she herself had had any picture of the future, it had been of a society of animals set free from hunger and the whip, all equal, each working according to his capacity, the strong protecting the weak, as she had protected the lost brood of ducklings with her foreleg on the night of Major's speech. Instead—she did not know why—they had come to a time when no one dared speak his mind, when fierce, growling dogs roamed everywhere, and when you had to watch your comrades torn to pieces after confessing to shocking crimes. There was no thought of rebellion or disobedience in her mind. She knew that, even as things were, they were far better off than they had been in the days of Jones, and that before all else it was needful to prevent the return of the human beings. Whatever happened she would remain faithful, work hard, carry out the orders that were given to her, and accept the leadership of Napoleon. But still, it was not for this that she and all the other animals had hoped and toiled. It was not for this that they had built the windmill and faced the bullets of Jones's gun. Such were her thoughts, though she lacked the words to express them.What was most likely Orwell’s purpose for writing this passage?to show that Clover is more sensitive to violence than the othersto remind readers of Major's speech and the original rebellionto present Napoleon as a cruel leader unworthy of the animals’ supportto represent misled followers and their dashed hopes for better lives
