Explanation:
First let's look at the difference between active and passive voice:
"Active voice means that a sentence has a subject that acts upon its verb. Passive voice means that a subject is a recipient of a verb's action."
1) The coconut cream pie was gobbled down by the starving Scouts.
What's the subject? The coconut cream pie. What is it doing? Nothing. Its the scouts that are preforming the verb of the sentence. In order to find active voice, we must make that Scouts the subject of the sentence.
The starving scouts gobbled down the coconut cream pie.
2)The little village was drenched by a blinding downpour.
Let's try a different approach. What is the verb? Drenched. Now what is doing the drenching? The down pour. Whatever noun is preforming the verb will be the subject of an active voice sentence. So . . .
A blinding downpour drenched the little village.
In short, in active voice, the main subject must be doing the main verb
Answer:
I'm not going to give an explanation for all of these, but I encourage you to try some of these yourself using the methods introduced above i.e find the main verb and from there find what is doing the verb, or find the main subject and create the sentence around it so it's doing the action.
3) The angry city council slashed the budget.
4) The swarming fans toppled the football goal posts.
5) The silver moonbeams caressed the pale rose petals
6) The governor issued a stern warning to striking workers
(Note: Here, striking is not the verb of the sentence but an adjective to describe workers. Could also be a gerund, I'm not sure. Either way, it's not the main verb.)
7) The playful ponies pranced upon the field.
8) The stead beat of drums filled the air.
9) Through the fog and mist, the old light house sent a beacon of assurance.
(Note: Through the fog and mist is a prepositional phrase and could be put at the end of the sentence or the beginning)
10) Mrs. Hawkins told stories of hardship and suffering.
(Note: suffering is part of the preposition and thus is not the main verb)
Select the correct answer.
Read the last stanza of Robert Frost’s poem “The Road Not Taken.” Why is it significant that the two roads diverged?
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
from "The Road Not Taken"
by Robert Frost
A.
The speaker is recalling, "with a sigh," how difficult it had been for him to choose the more traveled or the less traveled of the two roads. The forked road is a metaphor for the inherent duality in the natural world.
B.
One of the forks in the road represents the speaker in his youth when he chose a road; the other stands for the speaker "ages and ages hence." The forked road is a metaphor for the many contradictions found in nature.
C.
The speaker is relieved that he chose the road of moral living over one of temptation and ruin, which would have come from the other path.
D.
The speaker is imagining what it might be like to describe his choice of a life path after he has taken that path to close to its end.
Answer:
C
Explanation:
He is saying that there are 2 roads leading away from a critical point in everyone's life.
He is glad that he has chosen the one that is less travelled which means he has gotten what he could from the life he lived.
Jesus says much the same thing in Matthew 7:13 and 14. One way leads to destruction, the other is the righteous path.
I think Frost had this in mind when he said that the less travelled path has made all the difference to him, because he is not lead by other people.
I think given what I have written, I believe that C is the correct answer. I don't think the metaphor means anything to do with nature. It has to do with moral behavior.
Answer:
C.
The speaker is relieved that he chose the road of moral living over one of temptation and ruin, which would have come from the other path.

Read the following excerpt from “The Gift of the Magi” and answer the question. For there lay The Combs--the set of combs, side and back, that Della had worshipped long in a Broadway window. Beautiful combs, pure tortoise shell, with jewelled rims--just the shade to wear in the beautiful vanished hair. They were expensive combs, she knew, and her heart had simply craved and yearned over them without the least hope of possession. And now, they were hers, but the tresses that should have adorned the coveted adornments were gone. But she hugged them to her bosom, and at length she was able to look up with dim eyes and a smile and say: "My hair grows so fast, Jim! And them Della leaped up like a little singed cat and cried, "Oh, oh!" Jim had not yet seen his beautiful present. She held it out to him eagerly upon her open palm. The dull precious metal seemed to flash with a reflection of her bright and ardent spirit."Isn't it a dandy, Jim? I hunted all over town to find it. You'll have to look at the time a hundred times a day now. Give me your watch. I want to see how it looks on it." Instead of obeying, Jim tumbled down on the couch and put his hands under the back of his head and smiled."Della," said he, "let's put our Christmas presents away and keep 'em a while. They're too nice to use just at present. I sold the watch to get the money to buy your combs. And now suppose you put the chops on." The magi, as you know, were wise men--wonderfully wise men--who brought gifts to the Babe in the manger. They invented the art of giving Christmas presents. Being wise, their gifts were no doubt wise ones, possibly bearing the privilege of exchange in case of duplication. And here I have lamely related to you the uneventful chronicle of two foolish children in a flat who most unwisely sacrificed for each other the greatest treasures of their house. But in a last word to the wise of these days let it be said that of all who give gifts these two were the wisest. O all who give and receive gifts, such as they are wisest. Ev
Answer: The author is emphasizing the sense of loss that Della must feel when she realizes she can’t use them.
Explanation:
The purpose of the author’s description of the beauty of the combs is that the author is emphasizing the sense of loss that Della must feel when she realizes she can’t use them.
From the excerpt, Della has always admired the combs which she had worshipped in a Broadway window. She adores them and believed that it will be perfect for her hair.
Eventually Jim got it for her but the tresses that should have adorned the coveted adornments were gone. Here, the author described how beautiful and adorable the combs were to show how Della must have really felt bad that she won't be able to use them.

Flying cars ......... More popular in the future( be) The next train ......... At 9a.M( leave) Don't visit me next month.........! I........ In Greece. ( travel)
Answer:
Flying cars would be more popular in the future (be)The next train will leave at 9a.m (leave)Don't visit me next month, I will be traveling! I will be in Greece. (travel)Explanation:
Required
Complete the gaps
(a) Flying cars ......... more popular in the future (be)
The sentence here refers to what will happen at a later time. However, the statement is an imagination of what is to happen and not what will happen.
So, the blank will be completed with would be.
"would be", as used, means flying cars will most like be popular.
(b) The next train ......... at 9a.m (leave)
The sentence here refers to what will happen at a later time; and it is certain that the event will happen.
So, the blank will be completed with will be.
"will be", as used, means the train will definitely leave once it's 9am.
(c) Don't visit me next month.........! I........ In Greece. (travel)
Here, we have two blanks.
The first will be completed with "I will be travelling" as implied with the word in bracket.
The second statement supports the first; and it shows where the person would be, "next month"
So, we complete the statement with "I will be"

Answer:
Tomatoes can be picked and stored in the morning.
Explanation:
A sentence can be defined as a group of words that comprises of both a subject and predicate used to convey a logical information. Sentences are classified into three (3) main categories and these includes;
I. Simple sentence.
II. Compound sentence.
III. Complex sentence.
In English language, a simple sentence can be defined as a sentence that comprises of a single independent clause, a predicate or verb and a subject. Also, the subject in a simple sentence is joined together by a conjunction such as "and" and "because" to reflect the action that is being performed or done by the verb in the sentence.
In this scenario, you are required to rearrange the sentence in such a way that it becomes logical and expresses a complete thought.
Hence, the sentence is rearranged and written as follows;
"Tomatoes can be picked and stored in the morning."
