Which of these sentences uses the passive voice? A. You can succeed if you set goals and work hard. B. If I set goals and work hard, I can succeed. C. Success can be achieved by setting goals and working hard.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't know what a passive voice is but I would go with C

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the voice used to indicate that the grammatical subject of the verb is the recipient (not the source) of the action denoted by the verb @Cylah

OpenStudy (sasabina123):

I think it would be C because it does not specify a specific person like I or you right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@sasabina123 I think you right , thank you (:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can you help me with another question?

OpenStudy (sasabina123):

Nope problem. Yeah sure

Which LEAST describes a topic sentence? A. A topic sentence is a specific detail about the subject of a paragraph. B. A topic sentence can express an opinion. C. A topic sentence states the central idea of a paragraph. D. A topic sentence suggests ideas for the development of the rest of the paragraph. I was thinking B?

OpenStudy (sasabina123):

So a topic sentence is "a sentence that expresses the main idea of the paragraph in which it occurs." So we can take out C, D right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes

OpenStudy (sasabina123):

It might be A because it is talking about a specific detail rather than the main idea. B might be right because a main idea could be an opinion, so it CAN express and opinion.

OpenStudy (sasabina123):

*an

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'll go with A , if it's wrong ill know next time it's B. Thank you so much !

OpenStudy (sasabina123):

Yeah, no problem. Let me know what the answer is once you find out : )

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I will (:
