Answer: Please refer to Explanation
Explanation:
Passive form is used when the subject is not the one to be emphasized but rather the action itself as well as the object. For example, instead of saying, " He stole my laptop", you say, "My laptop was stolen by him" if it is a Present Simple Tense. Using a Past Continuous Tense you would say, "My Laptop WAS BEING STOLEN by him" instead of, " He was stealing my laptop".
The corrective Passive forms for the following are,
2. John looked back. He thought he WAS BEING FOLLOWED.
3 Last time Tina went clubbing, her phone WAS STOLEN.
4 Police are investigating the robbery but nobody HAS BEEN ARRESTED.
5 As I'm writing this, three suspects ARE BEING QUESTIONED.
6 A press conference WILL BE HELD tomorrow.

Read A January Dandelion BY GEORGE MARION MCCLELLAN
which best describes the role of the dandelion in the poem
(A) It serves as a symbol for humankind’s place in nature.
(B) It presents a contrast to the harshness of human experience.
(C) It represents the poet’s long-standing love of nature.
(D) It signals the promise of new beginnings.
(E) It provides an occasion for reflection on lost love.
Answer: (E) It provides an occasion for reflection on lost love.
Explanation:
The dandelion in McClellan´s poem is used as a metaphor for lost love. The dandelion, having been "misled" into blooming by a little warmth in the middle of a snowy winter, resembles a heart that "has bloomed by the touch of love’s warm breath." However, the blooming dandelion is meant to die in the cold weather, such as a love that finds no response.
The role of the dandelion in the poem 'A January Dandelion' is as a symbol for resilience, defiance, and hope in the face of adversity. It stands out amidst the winter bleakness, displaying beauty and vibrancy undeterred.
In the poem 'A January Dandelion', the dandelion primarily serves as a symbol. Just like the dandelion, which thrives even in the harshest of winters, continues to remain resilient and present, it stands as a metaphor for resilience, perseverance, and hope. Despite being considered a weed, it blooms with full vigor, representing undiminished spirit and the ability to find beauty even in dire circumstances.
The dandelion silently stands tall amidst other lifeless plants during winter symbolizing defiance to unfavourable circumstances. Thus, reminding us that aspiring ones can bloom and shine without needing appreciation or support from the outside world.

Of worldly stuff,
Gone with a puff.

The sentence should be changed to Annalise is Intelligent; Therefore, it is not surprising that she has good grades.
The words "very" and "really" should be dropped since they are superfluous word choices, and their replacement should be "; therefore," which is the right word choice and punctuation for the sentence construction.
As part of reading comprehension, error detection is a subset. The section on proper sentences includes it as a subset. Finding sentences that can be or need to be fixed is the basic goal of error detection. An intentional group of words forms a sentence.
With the grammatical rules in mind, we may define a sentence as a group of words that includes a subject, a verb, and an object. The SVO structure, also known as the SUbject-Verb-Object structure, is what it means in English.
