The answer is option ‘A’. The sentence 'be careful not to wake the sleeping baby' has a participle in it.

In the participle phrase 'sleeping baby’, 'sleeping' is the participle formed from the verb ‘sleep’ and acting as an adjective describing the baby. A participle is a word formed from a verb and acts as an adjective.

Read the following passage: “I gazed at these marvels in profound silence. Words were utterly wanting to indicate the sensations

Ne4ueva [31]

The correct word is “gazed”. The verb gaze is used to describe the action of looking / staring at something for a long period of time – be it because that something being watched is impressive or simply because the watcher is distracted and pensive. In the passage, the word gaze does NOT impact the mood.

What really impacts the mood in the passage are the other words – marvels, profound, wonder, mysterious, spectacle and phenomena – since their meaning convey an idea of something unnatural, exciting and incredible happening before the eyes of the narrator.

The passage was taken from the book A Journey to the Centre of the Earth by Julio Verne. The narrator is struggling to describe his sensations when he finds a gigantic cavern and the Central Sea below the surface of the Earth.

What is the best way to change this sentence from passive voice to active voice?

larisa86 [58]

A.
Half the students were failing the course near the end of the school year.

The sentence is written in passive voice because the course is the subject of the sentence and was being failed is the main verb phrase. The course can't fail. The students are the ones who are failing so to change it you must make the students the subject of the sentence. A is the only option that makes the students the subject.
