I think that it is C for the one above this comment. Not entirely sure. Sorry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think it's C because there's a was in the sentence which makes it passive. Oh the second one. Sorry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hoped this helped! :)

Hold on one second. (slow typer)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh wait is this the same one?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ummm.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I know it won't be B because it is in the progressive tense I think.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so b for the second question?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it's either c or d. I still think it is c because of the was in it. But if this is a test question, then I would check with someone else as well.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no its not a test

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Still I would double check. ;)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

C. Sports equipment was featured in the center isle. or D. Dragonflies with pale wings darted in the twilight. I am still trying to figure out which one is passive

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im going with C thank you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Try C and let us "see" what happens. But that is just my opinion. Check again with someone else as well and let's go with that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Which sentence is in the passive voice? A. The hot dogs roasted over the campfire. B. Speak to the conductor about the train tickets. C. Does Emily also read a lot of science fiction books? D. This building has been painted by student volunteers.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry I tried to help but I am still learning myself. Good luck with the question. :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay well it's not be because they are telling them what to do now.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ooops be is supposed to be b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Try d for that one. These questions are getting more difficult. Grrr. JK

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks anyway

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Like I said before. I am still learning myself because I a only in 8th grade so you might want to check with someone older or more advanced.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry for the lack of help on my part. But I can only say good luck.
